Je vous propose aujourd'hui de découvrir le trailer (avec sous-titres anglais) du futur long métrage d'animation chinois indépendant The Storm (大雨).

Il est signé par Busifan, un réalisateur indé déjà responsable du film Dahufa (The Guardian), sorti nulle part ailleurs qu'en Chine et au Japon, mais que j'avais pu découvrir en 2018 au Canada via le festival Fantasia.

Ce nouveau film était attendu l'an dernier, mais est toujours en production.
