Never mind Spielberg’s attempts at bringing to life Tintin’s adventures – the true drama is the life of the man behind the quiff. Hergé avant Tintin – how a creative, motivated and ambitious young artist makes his way upward, against a backdrop of rising ultra-right political powers in prewar Belgium. With Audrey Tautou as young baker’s daughter Germaine… Now here’s a movie I’d really pay to see.
