Carface
20154 min 43 secFilm: Animation
Direction: Claude Cloutier
Production: Julie RoyRené Chénier
Script: Claude Cloutier
Produced by the National Film Board of Canada with the participation of ARTE France.
A 1957 Chevy Bel Air performs an ironic take on the American ballad “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be).” The radiator grille morphs into a cajoling pair of lips, crooning the reassuring rhymes, while a spectacularly choreographed choir of cars sings backup. A scathing satire of the power of Big Oil, Carface is musical comedy on a grand scale, with filmmaker and cartoonist Claude Cloutier skewering carefree contemporary attitudes toward the threats to our planet.
