Louis Clichy's Animated Debut « Le Corset » Tells a Country Boy's Story of Emancipation

Louis Clichy directs his first animated feature film, « Le Corset », which follows a child forced to wear a corset who finds refuge in music. The film is described as a story of emancipation centered on a boy from the countryside. Le Monde reported on the project on October 13, 2026. The narrative combines the physical constraint of the corset with the liberating force of music as the young protagonist's escape. The title itself, « Le Corset », signals the central metaphor of restriction that the character must overcome. Clichy, previously known for animation work, moves into feature-length directing with this project. The film is positioned as a coming-of-age tale rooted in a rural setting, with music serving as the transformative element in the boy's journey toward freedom.
