It’s surely too bad there are no links (yet!) for this dizzying and hilariously gross little film. It’s not quite a ‘horror’ movie per se, but it delves in that direction, only to jerk you away into another dreamy, voyeuristic, profoundly weird situation. Repeatedly. At various points you cringe and laugh, others you’re wondering wtf just happened and if it were “real” or not. I don’t know what possessed someone to make this movie but I’m glad they did. It’s refreshingly bizarre, full of visceral imagery, and we’re treated to not one but two deeply, wonderfully disturbing performances by Vicente Cassel. A plethora of “WTF” and “no… really, what in the actual fvck, guys” moments abound, with excellent music and a unique setting in a disheveled, enormous French chateau.
Lots of bright, realistic and genuinely expressive acting going on here. Huge focus on intense facial expressions, tension and a pace that keeps you looking (even when you’re almost being pushed to look away, you’ll look through your hand).
This certainly isn’t a movie for everyone, but if you like your nightmares surreal and darkly humorous, you’ll “get it”. You’ll also never look at Cassel’s face the same way again.
