“A surrealist fairy tale bringing gothic glee to its meditations on performance and passion.”
An Eye for Film

Following car trouble, traveling performer Marc finds himself under the care of a friendly village innkeeper whose sanity is hanging by a thread and surrounded by equally strange villagers. Once described by Guillermo Del Toro as a “lucid nightmare,” this cunning Belgian number was released at the height of the early-00s French Extremity wave and went on to garner a fervid cult following.
