“Here”, the novel by Richard McGuire, as such has nothing to do with the story of Forrest Gump, beyond telling a great odyssey through time. But not that of a man, but that of a place, a small corner of a house. In the comic, a living room is first shown in 2014, first with a sofa, then without it and automatically the narrative moves to 1957, where there is a baby playpen and then a staircase… and so on until we go back to a time in which there was not even a house built.
It is difficult to imagine the protagonists of Forrest Gump in a story with so many time jumps, but if Zemeckis (director of the Back to the Future trilogy) is an expert at something, it is precisely in making his characters change time without confusing anyone.
McGuire’s novel, originally published in 1989, was considered at the time one of the most original and fascinating graphic novels of its time, with a reissue by the author himself 25 years later. Hence, the project has been so easy to place in Cannes, even more so with a renowned team such as Forrest Gump’s.
