Hors Satan Reviews

An enigmatic young man (Dewaele), living in the marshes on the outskirts of a small town, appears to have healing powers. He is befriended by a young goth (Lematre), whose abusive father he shoots dead. As the film progresses, some fall victim to his murderous rampage while others are healed of their ills.
Last year Dumont left his comfort zone with 'Hadewijch' a Paris set tale of religious fanaticism. It was his most mainstream work yet, following what was basically a straight narrative. His latest sees him return to his usual milieu of unattractive faces set against the grim backdrop of Northern France. It's self-indulgent garbage, consisting mainly of our protagonists walking across wind-swept fields. As is the norm for modern French cinema, it's filled with violence, though not as graphic as the work of most of Dumont's contemporaries. The movie is not only grim to look at, but rough on the ears too, thanks to Dumont's insistence on naturally recorded sound.
Bizarrely, 'Hors Satan' shares a silly sight gag (a character pulled back comically by a wire after being shot) with 'Django Unchained'. It seems Tarantino saw this at Cannes last year.

now they make movies about this scumbag

Beautiful and thoughtful.

Little explanation is offered for some very peculiar happenings. No intelligible answers can be found in this, only some very interesting and rarely asked questions.

This movie has nothing to do with Mumia Abu-Jamal, I suggest RT remove the MOVIE INFO summary they posted and replace it with something closer to the mark.

Una pelicula densa, que habla sobre la delgada linea entre la maldad y el bien, si le das tiempo y paciencia te recompensara mas de lo que te imaginas.
