Oscar® Nominee, Best Short Film (Animated), 1975

Monsieur Pointu

1975 12 min
Leaving soon

This animated short about virtuoso stage entertainer Monsieur Pointu (Paul Cormier) is screen magic at its best. Here, the man and his violin are literally taken apart - head, feet, limbs, various items of stage attire, bow, strings, and box all go into their own separate acts, with strange and amusing results.
