The Most Precious of Cargoes

La Plus Précieuse des marchandises
Michel Hazanavicius
France, Belgium
 - 2024
Estreno nacional
 In the middle of a blizzard, a lumberjack's wife unexpectedly finds a lump in the snow that seems to have been thrown from one of the trains that run through the cold forest. It turns out to be a baby, a little girl who will transform the lives of everyone who crosses her path. From the Official Section of the Cannes Film Festival comes the animation debut of Michel Hazanavicius, winner of several Academy Awards for The Artist (2012), immersing us in a pictorial winter tale about the consequences of war and the pain of loss. The music of fellow Oscar-winner Alexandre Desplat and the delicate voice of Jean-Louis Trintignant guide this luminous adventure set against the backdrop of the horror of the concentration camps, which chooses to place us in the compassionate human side that always emerges in the face of the worst adversity. 
Michel Hazanavicius

He was born in Paris (France) in 1967 and began his career in 1988 on television and radio alongside the comedy group Les Nuls. He achieved international recognition in 2011 thanks to ‘The Artist’, which premiered at Cannes before winning five Oscars. After participating in the collective film ‘The Players’ (2012), he took the leap to drama with ‘The Search’ (2014). In 2017, together with Riad Sattouf and Florence Gastaud, he created Les Compagnons du Cinéma, his own production company, where he made ‘Godard Mon Amour’ (2017), which, like his previous work, competed again at Cannes, a festival that he opened out-of-competition in 2022 with ‘Final Cut’ and where he returned this year with ‘The Most Precious of Cargoes’ (2024), his first animated feature film, also selected at Annecy. Since the summer of 2019, he has been Chairman of the Board of Directors of La Fémis, the French national film school.
