Details

Depardieu plays an unnamed hunter and we join him and his dog as they depart for a nearby forest to snare some rabbits - or perhaps he's hunting for something far more elusive? His excursion soon progresses from carefree meandering to a palpable sense of placelessness and it doesn't take long before the hunter's dog disappears and he finds himself lost.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Wolfgang E. Ott This film unveils its sense only at "THE END", for it is a frightening nightmare (un cauchemar): The protagonist has severe psychological problems because he was left by his wife and obviously lost his beloved dog, a setter who used to accompany him. In his dream he tries to overcome his problems in a drastic way: He is lost in the forest, i.e. in reality he doesn't know a way out from his problems - he is losing his dog who will never come back in reality. Finally he meets a woman who was obviously raped by two men at the same time; when he brings her in his home, he tries to care for her in order to win her sympathy. But instead of being grateful, this woman kills him - a symbol for the loss of his wife where he thought that instead of leaving him she should have been grateful for him. In his dream, surprisingly two men help him out of his desperate situation. The solution of this horrible story comes at the end of the movie when the beginning of the story is told in reality. At the Berlin film festival the director, Guillaume Nicloux, explained that it was a must to turn this film with none other than Gérard Depardieu. And he was right: Depardieu fitted in this role perfectly and after a long period - after "La tête en friche", "Small World", "Potiche" and "Welcome to New York", it is a film with Depardieu which is worth while to be watched.
