Société des Films Orzeaux

An ode to rural France and the simple joys of life, Dominique Benicheti's glorious masterpiece Cousin Jules captures the daily routine and rituals of Jules, a blacksmith, living with his wife, Felice, on a small farm in the French countryside.

A French filmed animation which deals with an isolated punch card perforation who tries to join groups of well-behaved perforations, is rebuffed, and finally manages to create complete disorder. The film ends in a holocaust, the result of lack of communication and accident in a nuclear world.

Description in the form of a cinematographic essay of Coaraze, a small village in the Alpes-Maritimes. An impressionist film showing life and death.
