One of the most touching and breathtaking pieces of filmmaking I've ever seen with a backdrop of stunning beauty in the French Alps and a gentle story telling of the growing friendship between a young French girl and a timid vixen over a period of approximately ten months. Magnificent camera-work and excellent editing skills on show with this delightful child - the only person in the film - and a brilliant cast of wildlife with wonderful lessons to be learned of their needs and fascinating behaviour.
Being so much younger than my siblings, the young girl reminds me so much of myself at that age, going off on adventures in the country with only my pony as company and finding the animal world such a fascinating place as you take the time to watch and listen. I was taken back to the time I found a tiny sugar glider caught in the barbed wire of Taffy's paddock and taking it home to recuperate for a couple of weeks and then letting it go back into the wild afterwards. Mmm, soul food...
It's not often I give a film 10/10 but this one certainly deserves it. Congratulations to everyone involved.
