Synopsis

Widower Germain is an experienced truck driver. One day he becomes involved in an automobile accident that leaves an unknown woman dead. From that moment on he spirals into depression. The movie excels for captivating camerawork and formal and narrative purity. And although the protagonists rush into difficult situations, the film never stoops to false, pathetic sentiment, while still addressing life’s most basic issues.

Un film touchant et sans trop d'artifices et avec des personnages bien ficelés qui révèle juste assez de leur histoire pour croire en leur existence. Je trouve par contre que le film prend du temps à décollé, la première parti du film est très lente (à écouter dans un état d'âme éveillé) et le style peu ennuyer certain. Même moi j'ai faillit me faire avoir. Mais soyez patient puisque après quelques minutes ça paie!
