The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet: An Imagery Narrative of the World of Childhood

Abstract

Jean-Pierre Jeunet, recognized as both an author and director, possesses a unique temperament and an aptitude for creating imaginative worlds and combining fantastical sights and sounds. With a childlike heart, his films often evoke a sense of the surreal. The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet continues in this vein, as it explores the world of childhood and offers insight into the romantic. It is a work that should be studied by creators of children’s films in our country.
