Film Reviews by LA

The usual mix of spirit and worldliness. Had forgotten i had seen it already, even the twist at the end. Beautifully made and acted, but an odd and uneasy combination of rom-com and terror, homely and thriller.

'Nature' film director Nicolas Vanier has re-created French rural life from the nineteenth/early twentieth century and shows animal and human life in absolutely loving detail. Incredible footage, some utterly sympathetic performances without too much unnecessary drama, and great understanding of the intelligent interaction of country people and the creatures they live with and depend on. A masterpiece.

Very individual film made by its two co-stars, classic French Burlesque in the style of Buster Keaton or other silent comedians, but in glorious technicolour.
