Aidan and I watched The Fox and the Child on September 17th. This is a beautiful film in so many ways. It's filled with meaning and will appeal to animal lovers. The cinematography, music, scenery, relationships and depth of characters are so complete. This is a touching story, which has stayed with Aidan and I long after seeing the film.
One scene, in particular, was so impactful that we discuss the concept of it, time and again. So as not to put out a spoiler, I'll refrain from providing any more details. I highly recommend this film, and suggest that parents of young children first watch without their children, to determine whether it is appropriate for the sensitivities of their unique young ones.
If you are interested, you can watch the trailer for this film.
I found an interview with director, Luc Jacquet. Luc Jacquet also directed the film, March of the Penguins. He was born and raised in Bourg-en-Bresse, France. The Fox and the Child was filmed on location in Plateau de Retord in France, and the Abruzzo in Italy, locations well-known to the director because these were where he spent the summers of his youth.
