the movie of my "doing nothing at all" day that I so looked forward to watching for so long. A sharp one. too many twists and turns. the teengers are in one way the country itself.
It is a film that has strong link with haptic theory. Not only does Denis' film sustain a focus on human flesh, non-human textures also seem to pulsate and breath and bleed. Its horror does not come from fantasy, nor extremity, but rather by hinting towards breaching the boundary. It gestures towards something in-between, caught only in glimepse.
