First Friday Films: The Cunning Little Vixen, 2003
The Cunning Little Vixen is a lavish animation of Janacec's famous Czech opera featuring the lovable flirtatious fox, Sharpears. It's a tale of the creatures in the forest, those who hunt them, and ultimately gratitude for nature's cycles of death/rebirth. Renowned conductor Kent Nagano, who hails from Berkeley, adapted the music and Geoff Dunbar (winner of a Palm d'Or at Cannes for Lautrec) created the spellbinding animation.
Christine Buffle is spot on as the youthful soprano, Sharpears while Grant Doyle seems born for the Forester role. Unrated, suggested ages 10 and up; run time 75 minutes. Join us for popcorn during, discussion after.
