FILM FORUM CORONADO: "Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage)"

Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents FILM FORUM CORONADO, taking place the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library's Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.

April 3: Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage) (1972, PG, 75 min.)

This surrealistic classic is a politically charged fever dream of oppressed humanoids—trapped as pets on a planet ruled by giant blue aliens— struggling to resist their oppressors and reclaim their freedom. (French with English subtitles)
