Synopsis
The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet (2013) is Jean-Pierre Jeunet's family adventure drama you can watch online on iFILM. A ten-year-old genius slips away from his Montana ranch and crosses the whole country alone to claim an award.
T.S. Spivet draws maps and diagrams like a grown scientist. When one of his inventions wins a prestigious Smithsonian prize, the call comes from Washington with no idea the inventor is a child. He tells his parents nothing, hops a freight train, and sets off across half of America, carrying a heavy family secret with him. Kyle Catlett plays young Spivet, Helena Bonham Carter is his eccentric entomologist mother, and Callum Keith Rennie his quiet cowboy father.
Jeunet, the director of Amelie, adapted Reif Larsen's novel, and his signature touch shows in every frame: odd little inventions, hand-drawn notes and diagrams laid right over the picture, a warm and melancholy sense of humor. A road-trip fable for anyone who has felt too clever and too alone. Stream The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet (2013) online on iFILM.
