Cool Stuff: Un tour de Manège

Un tour de Manège is a beautiful short, full of fluid, luscious color that dances about your screen. In it, a young girl plays on a floating merry-go-round, when suddenly a wind causes the carousel to drift away the from the dock to which it was connected, separating the girl from her mother. The entire short is allegorical in nature, as the girl greets strangers, grows up, meets boys (eerily accompanied by wolves) and then grows old before she's returned to her mother as a child once more. The ambiguous ending begs for another viewing. It's a great piece of work and well worth your time.
