Watch MacPherson For Free
MacPherson
This animated film by Martine Chartrand (Black Soul) recounts the friendship between a young Félix Leclerc and Frank Randolph Macpherson, a Jamaican chemical engineer and university graduate who worked for a pulp and paper company. An inveterate jazz fan, Macpherson inspired Leclerc, who wrote a song about the log drives and entitled it “MacPherson” in honour of his friend. Paint-on-glass animation shot with a 35mm camera.

Sadly Over-hyped
Powerful
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
In a similar manner than the shorts done by Aleksandr Petrov, the beauty of "MacPherson" can't be properly expressed with mere words: It is something which has to be seen in order to be fully appreciated, as every single frame from this brief but wonderful animation is an exquisite work of art,having a delicate lyricism incredibly rare to find in these time.For me, it was marvelous and inspiring experience, which perfectly shows that a simple (yet heartwarming) tale of friendship could become into a cinematic tone poem thanks to the paint-on-glass animation technique."MacPherson" is a outstanding work, worth of far more admiration and recognition, which confirms once again Martine Chartrand as one of the most talented (and sadly, one of the most underrated too) animators from our time.I also recommend "Âme noire", another excellent animation done by the same director.10/10 (And I would rate it with eleven stars if I could)
