10/6/2023 0 Comments Jack and the cuckoo clock heartMalzieu is the lead singer for the French band Dionysos, which delight in surreal, nonsense lyrics and songs of a fantastical, gothic tone. This is a film based on Le Mechanique de Coeur (English title The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart) (2007), an illustrated children’s book by Mathias Malzieu. Meanwhile, Joe comes seeking to steal Miss Acacia away from him. Jack tries to persuade Miss Acacia that he is the same boy but this means falling in love. He befriends her, she unaware that he is the boy from Edinburgh whom she says she loves. Jack also finds that Miss Acacia is a performer at the circus. Melies takes Jack with him to a circus where he gets a job as a scarer in the ghost train ride. There he meets the filmmaker Georges Melies. After Jack’s cuckoo-clock accidentally blinds Joe during a fight, Madeline places him on a train to flee arrest. There he comes up against the bully Joe who says that he also loves Miss Acacia. Jack insists on being allowed to go to school. In the town square, Jack is entranced by a girl his own age, Miss Acacia, a Flamenco singer/dancer who always operates without her glasses, but Madeline drags him away. Ten years later, Jack is yearning to go into the outside world and Madeline finally takes him. The mother leaves Jack to be raised by Madeline. She gives the boy Jack three rules – he must wind the hands of the clock every day and not ever stop them, he must never get angry otherwise he will overload the heart, and especially must never fall in love. Madeline quickly intervenes and creates a replacement heart out of a cuckoo-clock. It is so cold that the young boy is born with his heart a frozen block of ice. On the coldest day of the year, a pregnant mother staggers up the hill to the home of the midwife Madeline to give birth.
