Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This touching and timeless documentary centers around an artist and his dreams. The drive, commitment and dreams of protagonist Jean Marie come to life in a transcontinental adventure that has a single objective: achieving his dreams. The setting is remarkable too: a Western person re-invigorating the Chinese countryside with some folklore. Idiosyncratic, whimsical yet at the same time imbued with Dutch/Frisian functionality- this movie is highly recommended for those that dare to dream. Another key theme centers around inter generational friendship. The relationship between Jean-Marie and Frank is complex and interesting at the same time and has all the hallmarks of a multifaceted, deeply emotional yet superficially mundane relationship as any.

Great to see how the (Chinese) kids react on JeanMarie! That's so touching. Inspiring he did follow his dreams. And that kids all over the world love it so much. I really like the themes about father and son in it too.It's such a unique story which I would've never known without this film.Love to see the Chinese culture, especially the parts that aren't too touristic.Also really great music.Is is possible to book JeanMarie & Frank? I'd like more! More! Must watch.Greetings
