Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The raw power of this disturbing study of an alienated Parisian horsemeat butcher's over-protective, potentially incestuous relationship with his pubescent daughter is contained only by its meticulously framed CinemaScope images. Black humour plays a part too, as Philippe Nahon's coarse, prejudiced butcher tries to cope with the cruel vagaries of life. Noé's bleak social vision is reminiscent of early Fassbinder, but his powerful, visceral imagery is all his own.Author: NF
