Product Description

Born in the jungles of Borneo, Nenette is a 40-year-old orangutan and the oldest (and most beloved) inhabitant at the Managerie du Jardin des Plantes Zoo in Paris. The latest film by legendary French documentarian Nicolas Philibert (To Be And to Have), Nenette is a captivating study of an enigmatic animal and our relationship to her. Animals & More Animals: The zoological department of the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris was about 25 years was closed to the public when it was in 1992 with a great restoration began. Thousands of stuffed animals had to be dusted off and restored. Meanwhile insights into the method of presentation has changed significantly: curators asked not wish to classic lions that are frozen in a bloody attack on the curious public. Philibert paints a dreamy picture of a visitor who wander around in a bizarre world where everything from prehistory to the present exist side by side.

5.0 out of 5 stars A study in empathy -- and at times, an uncomfortable truth about how we view animals.
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018

Important film that considers the perspective of the caged animal being the object of constant observation by humans, rather than that of the humans. Some of the comments drew interesting parallels to the human condition, sucha as the woman who wonders if Nenette misses the country she comes from ("I miss mine, too"). To the caretaker who comments that to Nenette, we (humans) all merge -- not unlike how we tend to view other species.

This film is a great opportunity to discuss empathy with children. The number of comments who say it's boring is a sad reflection of how to many, animals are here merely to entertain us. There is so much we can learn from Nenette -- about her, animals, and ourselves -- if we open our minds and hearts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring and very sad

This is boring and very sad. I normally can stand a lot of slow paced things but this was just too much for even me to watch for very long. It was also very hard to see the poor conditions that the animals are living in the small space you can see how sad Nanette is. Do not have children watch this as it is very sad they is a man making fun of the poor ape in this it is mean.

3.0 out of 5 stars Marginally Interesting
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013
This movie starts out slow then decelerates. I found myself more interested in the orangutans' caretakers than in the animals. Those who care for these primates really, really love their work. Hearing some of the care givers, we never see any one but the apes, tell of the interactions between them and the orangs is very endearing. They love these animals but whether the animals reciprocate this love is anybody's guess. I personally don't like zoos but in this case I think the orangutans would most likely be extinct if they weren't in the zoo (I may be wrong about this). If you like apes and zoos this is the movie for you otherwise give it a pass.

I could not watch this as planned, its in French with captions, fine for me who watches all things with CC, I am hard of hearing. I wanted to share this with my Seniors with dementia and Alzheimer's, some can no longer read and others cannot see very well. I will watch it myself at home, it looks like a 5 star documentary from the little I saw.

J'ai acheté ce DVD sur Nénette car je l'ai vue au Jardin des Plantes, elle était très sympathique et j'ai voulu en savoir plus.
Très déçue par ce documentaire, commentaires pauvres. J'aurais aimé connaitre le lieu où elle est née (Bornéo) rien de tout ça. Des longueurs, on s'ennuie.

Documentaire très intéressant sur la vie des ourang-outans de la ménagerie du jardin des plantes. A voir absolument pour les amoureux de ces singes. On regrettera l'absence en bonus de quelques infos sur ces animaux en milieu naturel.
