La Vilaine LuLu

Set against the backdrop of mid-20th century Paris, this anime adapts the whimsical world of a 1956 picture book by Yves Saint-Laurent. The narrative centers on Lulu, a spirited and unconventional young girl whose imagination runs wild. The series unfolds as a collection of surreal vignettes, exploring fantastical scenarios born from Lulu's playful mind. Visually evocative, the animation style captures a dreamlike atmosphere, blending elements of fashion illustration with a touch of the uncanny. The stories subtly examine themes of identity and self-expression through Lulu’s ever-shifting realities, offering a glimpse into the creative subconscious of a visionary artist. It presents a uniquely personal and introspective experience, less focused on traditional plot and more on mood and imaginative storytelling.
