Animated film wins awards at Cannes
The animated film Le Corset, directed by Louis Clichy, has been receiving increasing appreciation since May and was presented at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, where it was entered in the Un Certain Regard category and received a Special Jury Prize. Success continues at Annecy
A few weeks later, the film achieved a triple success at Annecy, being recognized by both the public and the jury, as well as receiving the Prix Fondation Gan à la Diffusion. High ratings and critical acclaim
Le Corset is currently the most appreciated among new releases of October, with an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 based on 1276 ratings, according to some sources, though ratings stopped on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The film, inspired by Clichy's own childhood, appears to captivate audiences, with its soundtrack featuring a song by Stéphanie de Monaco. Oscar hopes and artistic style
Le Corset was among the five finalists to be the French candidate in the race for the Oscar for Best International Feature Film, though Minotaure was ultimately selected. Some speculate that Le Corset may still have a chance through the Animation category, where its drawings that evoke watercolor and ink outlines have the potential to charm audiences. Praise from viewers and critics
Internet users who rated the film with 5 out of 5 have praised it for its emotional depth and artistic quality. One reviewer described it as "a film about adolescence with wild but controlled power," while another called it "a very sensitive film, full of poetry," noting the autobiographical aspect gives it "even more strength and emotion." Diverse critical reactions
Another reviewer called it "of indefinable beauty" and "a real little jewel, even in the details." A reviewer named Pierre D. called it "a masterpiece" with "stunning drawings, magnificently realistic dialogues, perfect music choices, a very touching theme approached with finesse, poetic." Another reviewer, Gilles, noted that "everyone can find moments of their childhood in this film" and praised the "beautiful watercolor images." Personal connection and artistic merit
A reviewer named Ladross described the film as "delicate and profoundly human," noting that it "took me a few minutes to get used to the graphic style, but after that I was drawn into it." Another reviewer, Alessadehers1991, called it "a delicate and profoundly human work" and praised its exploration of difference, the gaze of others, and the desire for freedom.
