[Filmin] It's endowed with a strange sense of humor that makes it particularly intense, but also singularly entertaining. Alain Guiraudie is adept at wrapping his characters in wooded spaces that seem like representations of their own personalities, twisted and dark, lonely and threatening, but where one can find beauty and the life that springs from a buried body. It's a portrait of rural life that exposes singular identities, in a film that accommodates its own particularities as a mundane thriller.

You can’t really say the film starts with a bang. Two sets, a handful of characters, a tone so off you can’t tell if it’s a sharp black comedy or just plain garbage. But if you’ve got the right sensitivity, it’ll capture you along the way. Written and staged with, it manages to win over the viewer solely and exclusively through suggestions and omissions.

Melancholy, introspective, existential but with some humour as a result of misinterpretation and imagined perspectives.
