LA JOIE DE VIVRE (Animat/HG Productions, F 1934)
Dir/anim: Hector Hoppin, Anthony Gross; mus: Tibor Harsanyí; 35mm, 250 m., 9’ (24 fps), sound, Lobster Films.
No intertitles.
This legendary masterpiece of animation can be seen afresh in a new restoration from a miraculously pristine nitrate print, rediscovered in the early summer of 2004. This magical and exquisite work is contrary to all preconceptions of cartoons of the period. Two long-legged women frolic through various stylised settings, both industrial and natural, ranging from power lines, springtime fields, and a stream, to a busy railway signal house. A male cyclist chases after them, trying to return a shoe one of them has lost. An exquisite ballet of shapes and delightful rhythms, full of joie de vivre. Now little known, the film is a reference point for all specialists in animation cinema.

Anthony Gross is best known as a printmaker and painter. The animated films he made with Hector Hoppin reflect his distinctive graphic style, but add a sophisticated choreography of the movement of lines in space. The escapist theme of Joie de Vivre developed from an earlier suite of etchings called Sortie d'Usine (Coming Out of the Factory) 1931.
