Gisele Kerozene - Jan Kounen

Gisele Kerozene a stop motion animation piece which was created in 1989 set in a city which seems more highly developed than today, where we see 3 witch like people worshipping a statue which is taken away from them by a fourth person. The plot is based on them flying around the city trying to retrieve it back from the fourth character. It was very cleverly crafted and the stop motion animation is made to look as if they are actually flying around on broomsticks. Throughout the duration of the film, you can tell there is a narrative story to accompany it. The beginning, which features the 3 witch like people worshipping the statue and then the fourth person flying in on them and stealing the statue and flying off with it. The middle of the piece is the chase itself, the witches chase the assailant who stole the statue. Throughout the duration of the film, the main focus of it is the statue and what it represents. Its clear that it means a lot to the witch like characters because of the continual hunt for the statue.
