Erotic Animation: Tastes and Colours…: La joie de vivre
An ode to animated representations of sexual desire with La joie de vivre section of the special programme on erotica.
As part of the special programme Erotic Animation: Tastes and Colours…, the Festival brings you some carnal respite with a selection of sexy shorts.
With La joie de vivre, (the title of a short dating back to 1934 that illustrates an aerial ballet by two disrobed nymphs), take pleasure in films that playfully and sometimes sarcastically celebrate sexual desire. You’ll enjoy a whimsical version of Snow White, interpreted by the first icon of erotica on the screen, Betty Boop (Betty Boop in Snow White, 1933); the idyll of a bashful princess who finds refuge in an introverted musician’s bass cello case (Story of the Bass Cello, 1949); and an erotic and musical fantasy with Carnival of Animals (2006).
These fanciful and unconventional shorts can be seen as a declaration of love for ecstasy and pleasure.
