Once upon a time, a poor woodcutter and his wife lived in a great forest. Cold, hunger, poverty and the war raging all around them had made their lives very difficult.\u00a0One day, the woodcutter’s wife rescues a baby girl who is thrown from one of the many trains chugging through the forest.\u00a0That child will change their lives, as well as those of everyone she comes in contact with. Some will do all they can to protect her, whatever the cost, revealing both the worst and the best in the hearts of men.\u00a0Oscar-winning director Michel Hazanavicius recounts this beautifully animated, timeless tale to remind us that, in the darkest of times, the soul of humanity can only be preserved through the bright light of love and the heroism of ordinary people.<\/p>\n

Academy-Award winning director, Michel Hazanavicius<\/strong> began his career as a director of commercials and television projects. In 1999, he wrote and directed his first feature, Mes amis<\/em>. His next film, the James Bond parody, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies<\/em> (COLCOA 2008), was such a box office hit, it spawned the equally successful sequel, OSS 117: Lost in Rio<\/em> (COLCOA 2009).\u00a0 Hazanavicius burst onto the international scene with the release of The Artist<\/em> (2011), starring Jean Dujardin. A smash critical and popular hit, that film garnered 162 awards worldwide, including a Palme d’Or, Best Actor and Palm Dog Awards in Cannes; five Oscars and five BAFTA Awards, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor prizes in each country; six C\u00e9sar Awards; three Golden Globes; a Best Director Award from the DGA; and was named Best Film of 2011 by both the New York Film Critics Circle and the London Critics Circle.\u00a0 That was followed by The Search<\/em> (COLCOA 2015), Godard Mon Amour<\/em> (2017), The Lost Prince<\/em> (2020) and Final Cut<\/em> (TAFFF 2022). The Most Precious of Cargoes<\/strong> premiered, in competition, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and will be presented at TAFFF prior to its release in France.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/la-plus-precieuse-des-marchandises.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
