It's really like heaven to be able to draw something and then see it as a reality, even strange moments such as fire. Joann Sfar strange real heaven If you pretend you're completely mad, people believe it. The only thing I wanted when making the film was to have fun.

Movies are still so new to me so I had to use my fascination, and the fact that I'm almost a teenage filmmaker, to my advantage. And that's why I don't pretend to have made a good movie... but one that people are able to feel the love I have for this industry. Joann Sfar good-movie teenage people We have the talent, just not the money and not the audience. People in France don't really like fantasy. You need to go to Spain, England and Germany for that.
