Review: part two. Farce Express will deliver an interesting, underground story straight to the withering sun of a controversial script and amateurish direction. BOTTOM LINE: an honest 5.6 out of 10, I do not recommend it to the general public, but fans of underground animation (Animatrix, Fire and Ice) who are looking for something stylistically similar to Mars Express will do; The film was clearly created for the Cannes Film Festival in order to announce to the whole world that French animation, after the success of such visual masterpieces as Les Enfants de la pluie (2003), La Reine Soleil (2007) and the albeit not beautiful, but innovative Kaena: La prophetie (2003), which were ruined by the World economic crisis (2009-20??), «still alive!». Alas, the French multipliers are not moving beyond this manifesto, as confirmed by the box office receipts, with a budget of 9,000,000 euros, Mars Express earned a modest 1,455,000. The French are plagued by the same problem as their colleagues 20 years ago - they create beautiful and unusual stories, but incomprehensible to the general public, and therefore commercially disastrous and ruinous for any studio or animation union. The French are just one step away from global success, but they don't know where to step in order to achieve it. All this makes me sad and sincerely wish not to give up and hone my screenwriting skills. It's always good to watch a weak alternative to French animation, which stands up to such intrusive MONOPOLISTS and financial market sharks as Disney and DreamWorks.
