![]() ![]() Like Jeunet's own Amelie, which came about as close to being a 3-D film as a 2-D film can be, Spivet is about how the imagination is the best instrument for making sense of the world. The film's greatest achievement is in the way the accomplished 3-D treatment - this is Jeunet's first foray into the format - emerges entirely naturally, as the precise expression of a gifted child's vivid imagination. This unlikely but involving tale of a child prodigy making his way across the United States to collect a reward for his brilliance has been designed to be delightful for parents and children alike, and is full of surprises on all levels, except, disappointingly, that of plot. Spivet, a rare example of source and adaptation making a perfect match. Spivet translate joyously to the screen in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's The Young and Prodigious T.S. The quirky charm, visual wit and melancholy undertow of Reif Larsen's The Selected Works of T.S. ![]()
