Cannes Un Certain Special Jury PrizeFamily/ChildComing of AgeAnimation
记忆中的童年总是有点歪斜、笨拙，也因此格外鲜活。《钢铁男孩》的世界以大胆而质朴的笔触流淌而出，与这样的童年回忆有着奇妙的相似。曾参与皮克斯《机器人总动员》和《飞屋环游记》制作的动画师 Louis Clichy，以源自个人经历的故事完成了他独立执导的首部长片。原本打算追随父亲脚步务农的 Christophe，因身体残疾而被装上了铁制矫形支架。支架本是为了矫正他的身体，却反而让他偏离了既定的人生道路，让音乐、友谊与新的情感渗入缝隙。当这个弹风琴的男孩的现实分岔为自由的想象，他身体上的局限便化为一种以前所未有的方式看待世界的力量。每个人都会成长，但没有任何两个人的成长之路是相同的。透过一个男孩的成长故事，《钢铁男孩》悄然唤醒我们每个人心中萦绕不去的独特童年。本片荣获戛纳电影节“一种关注”单元评审团特别奖，以及安纳西国际动画电影节评审团奖与观众奖。
Louis Clichy was born in the Beauce region of France in 1979. After studying animation at the École des Gobelins, he began his career as an animator at Pixar, working on WALL-E (2008) and Up (2009). He went on to co-direct Asterix: The Land of the Gods (2014) with Alexandre Astier, which won the César Award for Best Animated Film, followed by Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion (2018), another commercial and critical success. Having devoted years to 3D animation, he reached forty and sought to reclaim "something he′d lost along the way," returning to the ink-line style of his early shorts to complete his first solo feature directorial effort, Iron Boy, drawn from his own personal experience. The film swept numerous awards in 2026, and its striking hand-drawn 2D visuals made it one of the year′s biggest breakout stories in the animation world.
