A film in the art of stillness and
Poetically weird
The whole movie is somewhat weird, the dialog is almost non-exist because neither the main female character, Amélieis, a deaf young woman played by Aurélia Poirier, nor the psycho loner, Leo, played by Kévin Mischel, never wants to speak. I don't know how Leo, an Uber driver, but actually the serial killer, who could keep killing women without even left any trace of his crimes. The police force and the detectives never appeared in the movie. The serial killer is also a musician wannabe who uses his laptop to create music (only one piece throughout the whole movie). His laptop seems to be always fully charged. He seems also to live in his Peugeot all the time without taking a bath or really uses water to wash his face, he brushes his teeth only with toothpaste outside his car.
The movie itself is not interesting enough to watch, but there are two great dances done by Aurélia Poirier, a solo dance so powerful and deep to watch. Then there's one dance, a dance performed by Léo with his imaginary partner Amélieis; that dance is great too. These two great dances should be adapted by "So You Think You Can Dance" and to be nominated for Emmy Awards.
