Sophie’s Misfortunes

Over break, I went to see a French movie at the French film festival at Lincoln Center. The one I saw is called Les malheurs de Sophie (Sophie’s Misfortunes) and was based on a French classic children’s book that centers around a young girl Sophie and takes place in the 19th century. The film was done well with beautiful shots and scenes, but what I liked the most was that it included some animation in the mostly live action. Sophie and her friends frequently got into mischief, sometimes playing with adorably animated squirrels and porcupines.
