Remember Tomorrow Presents:
LES MAITRES DU TEMPS
Dir: René Laloux, In French with English subtitles, France, 1982, 79 min, Cert: PG
'Remember Tomorrow' is an exploration of the lost utopias promised to us in 20th century science fiction, particularly those works made behind the iron curtain throughout the years of the Cold War. Starting off this occasional season, The Cube is delighted to bring back Rene Laloux's visionary animated epic, produced in collaboration with legendary comics artist Jean Giraud (aka Moebius).
After his parents are killed on the dangerous planet Perdide, young Piel (voiced by Frédéric Legros) survives by maintaining radio contact with Jaffar (Jean Valmont), a pilot transporting the exiled Prince Matton (Yves-Marie Maurin) and Princess Belle (Monique Thierry) from their former kingdom. Jaffar seeks the help of Silbad (Michel Elias), a cheerful old-timer who knows how to circumvent Perdide’s hazards, including brain-devouring insects and watery graves. Along the way, Jaffar and company encounter a pair of impish homunculi stowaways, identity-less angels controlled by an amorphous hive mind, and the Masters of Time, mysterious beings who can bend reality and perhaps reveal to the heroes their secret origins and destinies.
Look out for more 'Remember Tomorrow' titles throughout 2025!
