Derived from the work of legendary French comic-book artist Jacques Tardi, this highly praised animated feature is set in a 1940s Paris that stalled at the industrial revolution and never lost Napoleon.

As the titular April, whose missing parents—both scientists—might hold the key to a better world, Marion Cotillard leads a cast that includes the great Jean Rochefort. It screens as part of Festival DiverCiné at the Cinematheque on Saturday (March 26).
