A thousand
apologies to all
those who have been hanging on since The List reviewed Sidney Lumet's excellent new thriller back at the beginning of January. At that time we were told that the film would be opening in Scotland on Friday 11 January. Instead the film received a ‘staggered release’, opening in London a full three weeks before it opened anywhere else. Still, here it is at last, it‘s great and we hope you enjoy it.

Name Michel Ocelot
Born Villefranche-sur-Mer, France in 1943
Background While Ocelot Spent much of his childhood In Guinea. West Africa and his teenager years In Anlou. he now lives in Pans. He made his name by writing and directing the Kin'kou animated films. He faced early controversy for showing a naked body In a non-sexual way in the first of the Kirlkou cycle: Kirikou and the Sorceress and was called on to justify whether images of the naked body are suitable for the young. In 2007 he directed the music video Earth Intruders for Bibrk from the Volta album. He has also worked as a production designer, actor. editor and cinematographer.
What’s be up to now?
He has made his first film using SD animation techniques Azur and Asmar: The Prince '3 Quest, which, despite being a simple children's film he feels is a response to the current War on Terror: ‘l was thinking about the current political situation in the world even though the stay takes place a few centuries ago. PeOple think that this idea for the film was conceived after 9/11 but no. the genesis of the film started before that. We saw the Twin Towers coming down on television while we were drawing the opening scene and we had the feeling that this has to be made.‘
What he says about the influence of France on hle work ‘As I'm from France I wanted to do a film about France. and as most of the immigrants in France are from North Africa. some of the film takes place in North Africa.‘
Interesting Fact Normally Ocelot finds SD animation ‘boring'. As a result he wanted to get away from computer generated 30 and so made the backgrounds 20 and the characters 30 to create a more cartoon look and didn't put in any lights and shadows to avoid the temptation to mimic reality. (Kaleem Aftab)
