An aggressive alien race of blue giants, the Drags, subdue humans in this surreal animation. Grand Jury Prize Winner Cannes Film Festival 1973.
In a distant future on planet Ygam, the Daags, blue, emotionless superaliens, keep humanoid creatures called Oms as pets; the proportions are that of master and enslaved. La planète sauvage (Fantastic Planet) places man in an enslaved position; as a pet he serves the vicious Daags, a race that thinks itself master.
The score with psychedelic jazz music by Alain Goraguer lifts the viewer from the seams of the everyday and takes him into a supernatural SF experience in which man is no longer the measure of things.
There are no new dates planned (yet) for La Planète Sauvage (Fantastic Planet).
With the support of the IFNL and the IF Paris.
