A darkly unpredictable and unsettlingly offbeat tale of murder and repression in a small French town told with the same perverse, macabre humour and underlying suspense as director Alain Guiraudie’s 2013 triumph STRANGER BY THE LAKE.

Jérémie returns to his childhood village in Ardèche after the death of his mentor, the village baker. Lodging with the baker’s widow he quickly finds himself under suspicion from the baker’s son, who questions his true motives. Then a mysterious disappearance unsettles the rural tranquility…

Alain Guiraudie’s signature brand of erotic pastoral mysticism is a dazzling mix of passion, crime, mushrooms and bedroom farce and the result is a richly melodramatic, queer thriller about guilt, morals, and murky desires.

“Dark. Comic. Flat-out bizarre” Sight & Sound
“A sickly funny thriller. It concludes on a note that is perfectly and pitilessly perverse.” Wall Street Journal
