I Lost My Body: A Visually Unique Out of Body Experience

I Lost My Body is a French movie made by Netflix about a severed hand trying to get back to its body. The movie also shows the events leading up to this point. The animation is outstanding and unlike anything I’ve seen before. The editing is wonderful as scenes of the hand going on it’s journey switch between scenes of the character Naoufel, the person who lost his hand.

Naoufel is a pizza delivery guy who during a late delivery develops a relationship with the person who he was supposed to deliver a pizza. While this character development  is necessary I wish there were more scenes of the severed hand out in the world. That was the most visually interesting parts of the movie.

The relationship between Naoufel and the girl is nice because it’s an unlikely way to start a relationship or get close to another person. Out of all the movies nominated for best animated picture I Lost My Body is the most visually interesting in my opinion, with its compelling story and unique animation. 🍔🍔🍔🍔
