Description

Ciné France, open air night movie screening with “Dilili à Paris”, by Michel Ocelot

Set in the City of Light during one of its major artistic heydays, the simply crafted story follows a young girl named Dilili who arrives as a stowaway from New Caledonia and gets caught up in a mystery plot that will take her through the upper reaches and lower depths of Paris.

She’s accompanied in her quest by an earnest delivery boy, Orel, who seems to personally know every major figure from the period, ranging from Marie Curie to Marcel Proust to Louis Pasteur to Toulouse-Lautrec, and introduces his little detective pal to a host of thinkers and creators who have since become household names.

The homage to Belle Epoque Paris is entertaining. Teen and adult Francophiles or history buffs will particularly enjoy visiting the who’s who of fin de siècle stars of the arts, letters, and sciences.
