MA LOUTE (SLACK BAY)

Watchable. Quite similar to "P'tit Quinquin" - set in the North of France, with a cannibal family - but decades earlier. Satire on: obesity, exaltation of the upper class, eating habits, dressing styles, spirituality, pompous army music, inbreeding. Again, in this film by Bruno Dumont, what revolts you at first is the same bizzarre world of the director which swiftly engulfs you in the further part.

A four-day screening of Czech documentaries is starting in Warsaw Muranow cinema tonight and I'm rushing out to the first film shortly.
