Il était une fois… le triomphe de la Fantasy

80%(1)DocumentaryFantasy

A journey into the magical world of fantasy, a genre that has captivated the world for over a century, from Tolkien's novels to the legendary Harry Potter saga, from the Game of Thrones phenomenon to The Wheel of Time and the must-play video game Zelda. This film, bringing together exceptional contributors such as Richard Taylor, author Robin Hobb, French writers Maxime Chattam and Estelle Faye, and history-specialist videographer Ben, is narrated by Adeline Chetail. Designed as an immersive journey with spectacular images, it takes viewers into a parallel world, born in response to the crises of history. A world that has become a reflection of very real dreams and struggles, but also a celebration of the imagination, its richness, and its power over lives.
