Director Sylvain Chomet's (The Triplets of Belleville, The Illusionist) first live-action film - a deadpan, absurd comedy in the vein of Buster Keaton - about a mute, sweet-natured man-child whose reawakened childhood memories unleash marvellous musical fantasies.
"Paul is raised - and smothered - by his two eccentric aunts in Paris since the death of his parents when he was a toddler. Now 33, he still does not speak. (He does express himself through colourful suits that would challenge any Wes Anderson character in nerd chic). Paul's aunts have only one dream for him: to win piano competitions. Although Paul practices dutifully, he remains unfulfilled until he submits to the interventions of his upstairs neighbour. Suitably named after the novelist, Madame Proust offers Paul a concoction that unlocks repressed memories from his childhood and awakens the most delightful of fantasies." (Toronto International Film Festival)
