Movies to be seen on the couch this weekend while theaters are closed.

Not just a familiar fairy tale. Not only does a fantasy gallop beyond hateful reality. It is not just an attempt to explain the parent-child relationship in a romantic key. “The Forgotten Prince” is more of a colorful stimulus to change, not to be left behind as the world turns the page, and a eulogy of the saving value of cinema. Djibi (the French star Omar Sy from “Samba” and “Almost friends”) works at the site with little satisfaction but a good father, recently widowed, with an 8-year-old daughter, Sofia, who loves him and who every night, Before falling asleep, he tells a fairy tale set in the magnificent world of StoryLand. From that kingdom, set as a film set, Djibi the king, the blue prince and the first actor. Proud and invincible between orcs and elephants: this is how Sofia sees it. And to fill your life enough. But time passes: Sofia, a teenager, discovers new interests and, above all, sensitive to the gaze of a blonde partner. Pap’s stories inevitably become less important and, consequently, also the role of Djibi, degraded in the hierarchies of StoryLand to become a transparent disappearance, a package to be delivered to the country of the Oblates. The vehement but vain reaction, just when a beautiful and clumsy neighbor, Clotilde (Brnice Bejo), enters the scene, offering a bank for the despair of the “forgotten Prince”. Of the five Oscars for “The Artist” (2011), Michel Hazanavicious stood firm against the existential metaphor: imagination stronger than reality. And the land of toys is not so bad, if the storm breaks out outside. The worst in the family, Djibi, who has not yet mourned the loss of his wife and in Sofia’s affection finds a reason to continue. The Hazanavicious touch is a memory. The combination of sometimes stressful work narrative plans. But the metaphor, aided by digital effects, maintains the escape from fantasy. The idea that salvation in the face of misfortunes and torments depends on our ability to dream is always suggestive.
