Le Chêne

Le Chêne (2022)

Once upon a time, there was a pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), born in 1810, 210 years old and a pillar in its kingdom. This spectacular adventure features an extraordinary cast: squirrels, barnacles, jays, ants, field mice... This vibrant, whirring, marvelous little world seals its destiny around the majestic tree that welcomes them, feeds them and protects them from its roots to its crown. A poetic ode to life, in which nature alone expresses itself.

Heart of Oak is a 2022 French nature documentary film directed by Laurent Charbonnier and Michel Seydoux. It is about an oak tree and the animals that live in it, portrayed without spoken commentary.

Production

The French companies Camera One and Winds produced Heart of Oak with co-production support from Gaumont. The producers were Barthélémy Fougea and Michel Seydoux. The idea for the film came from Laurent Charbonnier, who co-directed it with Seydoux, and the screenplay was written by Michel Fessler and Seydoux. The music score was composed by Cyrille Aufort and there is an original song by Tim Dup.

The tree is located close to Charbonnier's home and precisely 10 km from the Château de Chambord (Loir-et-Cher). Filming took a year and a half. The crew spent around 100 days on lookout at the tree. A chase sequence with a bird of prey, comprising 1 minute and 20 seconds of the finished 80-minute film, was the result of 15 days of work.
