The first-hand experience, told with biting humor, of two tyrannies—one political, the other parental—in Algeria between 1970 and 2000. Salim Zerrouki grew up in Algiers, in an unusual building within the complex built for the 1975 Mediterranean Games. At the time, Algeria was to all intents and purposes a dictatorship, and the Games were seen as an opportunity to display the country’s achievements to the rest of the world. The ultimate in modernity, the complex was designed by the internationally renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, who made it a personal rather than national statement.
In the story of his upbringing, which he tells with honesty, humility, and humor, the building in which Salim was born becomes a character in its own right, and his memories of childhood and adolescence combine to paint a personal, political, and spiritual portrait of a little-known and terrifying chapter in Algeria’s history.
A tough but touching and always amusing tale. A rare glimpse into a forgotten world.
A master of Japanese anime turns his hand to the graphic novel to tell us his own story. An extraordinary tale that takes us from postwar Japan to the release of the 2001 movie “Metropolis”: a series of encounters, of opportunities, of late nights, of jazz, and above all of movies—a passion aroused in him by his father that will always make him want to become a director. And it is with anime movies that Rintaro fulfills that dream.
Another key player in Rintaro’s life is Osamu Tezuka, with whom he collaborates for several years, notably on the “Astro” series. But after that, Rintaro takes off in a new direction, creating his own movies, which will become classics of Japanese anime: “Le Serpent Blanc,” “Capitaine Albator,” “Galaxy Express 999,” “Sabu et Ichi,” “Metropolis”…
It is largely thanks to Rintaro that Japanese anime is the respected art form that we know today.
