Storyline
Featured review
An Englishman (played by former Stranglers frontman, Hugh Cornwell) arrives in a remote French town near the coast to collect his broken down car. What he sees there will change his life forever...
They say that the best things come in small packages and this beautifully realised short film (running at just 21-minutes) could easily be presented as supporting evidence. But that's not to say it is a lightweight piece. On the contrary, it is a film with great depth (especially considering its short length). I don't wish to give any of the plot away - so no need for Spoiler Alerts here - but, like its allegorical subject-matter, it is a film that gets under the skin (in a good way) and the viewer is definitely rewarded with repeated viewings. Highly recommended viewing.
Cornwell also provides (most of) the brilliantly atmospheric soundtrack.
