By juxtaposing extreme natural beauty with grotesque human figures, Dumont achieves a strange harmony of colliding tones. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- It features Juliette Binoche and Fabrice Luchini giving deliberately hysterical and bonkers performances as posh people in a small coastal town in early 20th-century France who are being tormented by local fishermen-turned-cannibals. Wacky, eh? Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- Bruno Dumont seems bent on reinventing himself as a comedy director, and this gleefully raucous romp continues the good work started in P'TIT QUINQUIN.

Rating: 3/5 -- It's a cinema of the absurd with a tone reminiscent of Ionesco's The Bald Prima Donna, a bizarre, grotesque black comedy that swerves into inexplicable events, with the joke so over the top that it's stretched as far as it can go. Full Review

While I could pass off the experience as merely another idiosyncratic exercise in Dumont's filmography, it's more transgressive qualities hover and rattle, inspiring greater consideration than its absurdity suggests. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- Strictly for those with a strong stomach and a decidedly bent outlook. Full Review

As a director of landscapes, [Bruno] Dumont still has considerable skill, especially since he's almost as interested in dirt and muck as beauty. As a director of actors, his ability seems to have gone to hell. Full Review

Product Description:

Bumbling police inspectors Machin (Didier Desprès) and Malfoy (Cyril Rigaux) investigate the disappearance of several vacationers from the beaches of the French Channel coast in the summer of 1910. However, the darkly comic clash between moneyed tourists and working-class locals stymies their work as they encounter one eccentric after another. Juliette Binoche co-stars.
