Linda Wants Chicken

Linda's mother wrongfully accused Linda of stealing the ring, and to make up for it, she had to make Linda a plate of black pepper chicken on a day when all the stores were on strike. This is a niche independent animated film produced in France. Directors Sebastian Louderback and Chiara Melt have joined forces for the second time after collaborating on a short film in 2020. They use an abstract style to tell the story of real-life family conflicts, the true love between mother and daughter, and the street chaos caused by a chicken. The simple hand-painted style is combined with the thick and colorful rendering, showing an amazing and warm artistic appeal, making every frame look like a beautiful modern painting. Selected for the parallel section of the "Federation of Independent Films and Distributors" at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
