Need to see it in higher res to appreciate the quality really but as a taster...

Posted it in this section as the nature photography from a beautiful woodlands of the Jura Mountains in France is simply stunning.

Half nature film, half fairy tale, and worth a look if just for the great locations. Fancy a trip to the Jura (from Jurassic apparently) mountains now!

I watched this in the Cinema, I really enjoyed it, definitely worth a look. It is in French but there is hardly any dialogue.

The official movie site with more clips, photos etc.

I spent several years living within easy striking distance of the Jura. It's a magical area although not immune to many of the usual environmental issues - the trout streams (there are several) are a shadow of their former selves. Mind you, for a summer hike, or a winter cross country skiing jaunt, it's still one of the best regions in France. I caught part of the film, really very good, must watch the rest, thanks for sharing the link!

Lucky you!

I bought this several months ago for my daughter and it's worth noting that there are some slightly upsetting scenes for very young children. As a movie it's a tremendous child's-eye magical view of the world - stunning cinematography and every family should watch it
