Pierre Prévert and Henri Alekan

In addition to my previous comment, after double-checking online the opening titles, I believe it is worth pointing out too that the artistic consultant of "The Magic Kite" was Pierre Prévert (illustrious screenwriter and poet Jacques Prévert's younger brother, and his collaborator on various productions). As for the cinematography, the DOP was nothing less than Henri Alekan (best known for his work on Jean Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast", on Julien Duvivier's "Anna Karenina" – starring Vivien Leigh –, as well as on Wim Wenders' "The State of Things' and "Wings of Desire"). Two more reasons to have a further look at this possibly underrated film and to give it a chance to enter some day the charts of French kid-movies made before the Global era (which that project developed between France and China was quite ahead of, in its very own way).
