P'tit Quinquin (2014)Li'l Quinquin
The last thing expected of Bruno Dumont was a comedy, yet with this absurdist policier set in his usual Northern France, he has achieved just that. Originally conceived as a four-part serial for TV, P'tit Quinquin is simultaneously slapstick, metaphysical and at times genuinely disturbing. Two spectacularly incompetent policemen investigate a series of grisly killings after the victims start to turn up stuffed inside farm animals. Observing their efforts is a band of young scamps, led by P'tit Quinquin, dedicated to causing havoc and generally making a nuisance of themselves. Dumont plays with the conventions of the genre - sensational death, red herrings, weird locals, and of course the two cops with their philosophical musings and catch phrases. The film has been much compared to Twin Peaks, though Dumont says he's never seen it, and to True Detective, but it is notwithstanding very much a work belonging to Dumont's unique universe. - Director:

- Cast:
- Alane Delhaye, Lucy Caron, Bernard Pruvost
