“Le Coeur est un Métronome” (The Heart is a Metronome) is a wonderfully moving four-minute animated short film by the young French filmmaker Jean-Charles Mbotti-Malolo. What happens when children really grow up and become young men, when they no longer necessarily accept admonishment from their fathers for their misdeeds. What happens when both adults throw a tantrum and storm out of the house? Do they fall out of love with each other?
In this touching film, dancing is the high point of the exchanges between the two characters, because it is their only means of communication. And it is the street dance routines that entertain and mark this movie out as so special, slick, rhythmic movements, quite perfectly animated and indeed choreographed, as father and son perform together almost despite themselves.
While watching this inspiring film, I could not help but reminisce about the legendary Gregory Hines-Sammy Davis Jr. Tap Challenge in the movie “Tap.”
This piece includes a number of colorful illustrations from the film, as well as the marvelous animated short.
Please visit my website to view these illustrations, and to watch this touching animated short film:
