Seules les bêtes
This hypnotic French thriller weaves together the stories of various individuals connected with the disappearance of a woman, her car found abandoned on a remote mountain roadside.
Franco-German director Dominik Moll returns to the territory of breakout hits HARRY, HE’S HERE TO HELP and LEMMING with another darkly funny thriller that explores the seamier side of middle-class life in the French countryside. Two depressive farmers, an unfaithful wife, a lovelorn waitress and an African con artist are each related in some way to the disappearance of a glamorous housewife.
A stylishly-shot and elegantly structured slow-burn, revealing the secret connections between fascinating and disparate characters, the film finds Moll at the height of his storytelling powers and working with his finest cast to date. This compelling mystery moves expertly toward an unexpectedly moving and surprising denouement. (source: BFI)
