Bruno Dumont’s most beautiful and memorable film yet, is a stylized period piece and satirical murder mystery set in 1910 Northern France. Weirdly eccentric, unorthodox and inventive, the film leaves one pleasantly perplexed but tremendously entertained.
 On one side of the great class divide are André (Fabrice Luchini who steals the movie!), decadent lord-of-the-manor and total nitwit, and his sister Aude (Juliette Binoche), an unbearable airhead. On the other side, the poverty-stricken local fishermen folk are half-wits. All these characters play out against a strange tale of wacky policemen, buffoons among the dunes, investigating mysterious disappearances of people visiting the marshes.
You’ve never seen a film quite like this one.
