The Fairy (La fée)

“The Fairy” may be as close as we’ll ever get to a live-action cartoon. The cheerfully surreal love child of three Belgium-based comedians, the film is a slapstick ballet that combines elements of Jacques Tati, “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg,” “The Triplets of Belleville,” and “Napoleon Dynamite,” yet it flows with a dreamlike lunacy all its own. The vibe’s too rarefied to last the length of a feature film — and it doesn’t — but when “The Fairy” is on, it creates entirely new comic synapses in your head.
