France
Feature Film
Original Title: Flandres
Writer/Director: Bruno Dumont
Cinematographer: Yves Cape
Cast: Adelaide Leroux, Samuel Boidin, Henri Cretel, Jean-Marie Bruveart, David Poulain, Patrice Venant, David Legay, Inge Decaesteker
Lacking the ultra-long takes and minimalist charm of Dumont’s best work, this tremendously disappointing film, alternating between scenes of a farmer’s daughter’s sexual encounters and the barbarities of an unnamed war zone, is a pretentiously enigmatic, unengaging, and at times embarrassingly amateurish film.
