Overview - Romanian movie producer and Director Anca Damian, teaming up with Belgian artist Brecht Evens, accounts the life of a charming pooch, Marona, in this canine-condition story. Marona shares her excursion, from puppyhood to the unfortunate mishap that bookends the film.
We see Marona, a highly contrasting crossbreed, at the very least time in her life — when she's hit by a vehicle in a bustling road, helped by her owner, a teenager young lady named Solange. At that point, as it does in film, Marona's life flashes before her eyes. To start with, she sees her folks, a swaggering thoroughbred dad who made some one-memories experience with a woman mutt. Marona — not her name yet — was one of nine young doggies, picked from the litter by her dad's proprietor. In any case, that human rapidly forsakes the pooch in a midtown junk can. That where she's found by Manole, a gymnastic performer who busks for tips in the day and engages at a dance club in the nights.
The pooch and Manole are close, Yet, the creature before long observes that she should leave the entertainer to seek after his fantasies. She ends up at a building site, and is become friends with by Istvan, a delicate monster who fills in as a security guard. Istvan is pleasant to the canine, Yet, the equivalent can't be said for the ladies throughout his life: His feeble mother, and his shallow spouse. Marona gets away from their grip, and after more misfortunes is found by a 10-year-old Solange.
With Marona's Fantastic Tale, Damian has made an authentic show-stopper. Dreamlike pictures fly off the screen, the world seen through the eyes of a pooch. Marona's first stumble into the city is both curved and great, loaded up with triangular, massive, persistently transforming people. At that point there is the computer game like a building site which is lively and upbeat with mindful and adorable people. This is the means by which canines must respect us: as dangers and mates, as reliable and traitorous.
Each stop on Marona's long-winded excursion is rendered flawlessly by Anca Damian and her illustrators, with a kaleidoscope of styles and hues. The stunt-devil Manole is constantly delineated as a yellow figure with red stripes, a whirlwind of smooth movement wherein the stripes need to find his bendy yellow appendages. At the point, when Istvan's mom dozes, her face turns into an Etch-a-Sketch portraying her fantasies, with her facial highlights returning just when her child wakes her. Each character is rendered with those sorts of savvy, innovative subtleties, and when they associate, the outcomes are hazardous.
Final Word - Marona's Fantastic Tale delicately and beautifully manages substantial subjects like mortality, isolation, and misfortune, yet figures out how to be appropriate review for the whole family. Each arrangement conveys an alternate tone, an impression of Marona's internal life and inward light. Indeed, even in her disastrous end, her fabulous story continues swaying with trust.
A Beautiful Poignant Story
