Bim, il piccolo asinello - Albert Lamorisse

alla sceneggiatura, e voce narrante, c'è Jacques Prévert.

la storia è semplice, tutti i ragazzini hanno un asinello, il ragazzino ricco ruba il bellissimo asinello al ragazzino povero.

poi il ladro se ne pente e tutti i ragazzini dell'isola vanno alla ricerca dell'asivello, che sta per essere ammazzato e...

un gran bel film, d'altri tempi, da non perdere.

buona (asinina) visione - Ismaele

 I saw this movie in second grade, probably in 1969 or 1970, in Danbury, Connecticut; and I never forgot it. I loved the little boy and his donkey. I mostly remember at the end of the film when he got the donkey back, he hugged it and then said "Ah, Bim !". I almost started crying;it was so beautiful. I think all of today's kids should see a film like this; so simple with a simple message. I cannot believe I was on this website and read about a movie from so long ago. Hopefully, I can find this movie to purchase on Amazon so I can let my 13 year old see it and perhaps, feel how I felt when I first saw it. I also would like to see some of the writer's other films. I hope they are just as good as Bim.

Featuring narration by celebrated poetic-realist writer Jacques Prévert, Albert Lamorisse’s first fiction film established his stylistic and thematic signatures: elegant simplicity, storybook-like voice-over, and empathetic concern for children and animals. Filmed on the Tunisian island of Djerba, this spirited adventure follows two boys—one poor and good-hearted, the other wealthy and spoiled—who go from rivals to friends as they set out to save a donkey from thieves. From the start, Lamorisse’s gift for bringing forth the inner lives of his nonhuman characters suffuses his art with an otherworldly magic.
