Now that I'm looking back at the movies I watched in 2019, I realized how good this year was for movie buffs! We had fabulous movies like Jojo Rabbit, Joker, Parasite, 1917, Toy Story 4, etc. However, I wasn't that attracted to this animation. I watched it yesterday and honestly, I feel bad for not watching it earlier...

I Lost My Body is a critically acclaimed animated film adapted from Happy Hand by Guillaume Laurant, earning numerous awards including an Oscar nomination and the Nespresso Grand Prize at Cannes. Although animated, it is not suitable for children due to its mature themes and graphic scenes, instead offering a deep, poetic exploration of loss and longing through the surreal journey of a severed hand seeking its owner. With stunning animation, rich symbolism, and dual narratives from both the hand and Naufel, the film presents a complex yet emotionally resonant story, despite a few unanswered plot elements.
