From big budget productions like Pixar's WALL-E and the mainstream
animation success Asterix Louis Clichy went on his own artistic
journey. It lead the French filmmaker to the 79th Cannes Film
Festival where his feature film debut holds a prominent place as
the only animated film in the prestigious Un Certain Regard
section. In dreamy watercolors, Iron Boy imagines the coming-of-age
of 10-year-old Christophe, suffering rom severe skoliosis, who
struggles with medical and familiar restraints. On the rooftop
terrasse just across from the Palais du Cinema, Clichy spoke about
the story's connection to his own childhood, why he chose aquarell
and 2D over CGI images, and the downside of lavish studio
productions.
