Love. Il cane: silent graphic novel by Brrémaud and Bertolucci
Frédéric Brrémaud and Federico Bertolucci's 'Love. Il cane' (SaldaPress, 2021) is a wordless graphic novel following a mastiff's journey home after his master is killed by a snake bite in the Australian wilderness. The 96-page book showcases Bertolucci's technical skill, blending European figurative tradition, Asian attention to nature, and American cinematic flair. The volume includes preparatory sketches and production notes. Brrémaud (script) and Bertolucci (art) are an established international team; their 'Love' series previously covered a tiger, fox, lion, and dinosaurs, gaining recognition across Europe, America, and Asia. Bertolucci trained at the Accademia Disney.
