A French production, original and ambitious
Rhythmic and intriguing, this first trailer for Mars Express arouses curiosity by the mysteries that it disseminates, but also by the quality of its unusual plastic. Skillfully combining 2D and 3D to achieve a style that looks like it comes from a graphic novel, Mars Express seems to take as much care in the meticulous animation of its characters as in the backgrounds, whether they are arid deserts or urban environments teeming with details.

In terms of casting, Jérémie Périn’s film has nothing to envy of major Hollywood productions, since it brings together the best of French performers: the brilliant Léa Drucker, awarded a César for best actress for Until the Guard , rubs shoulders with the great Mathieu Amalric, twice crowned with a César for best actor. Enough to appeal to fans of animation and sci-fi as well as the most selective movie buffs!
