Critics reviews

A tantalizing work that straddles the line between narrative and experimental filmmaking... Grandrieux channels the young man's fragmented worldview, breaking the film into short, texturally vivid sequences that immerse viewers in the natural environment or bouts of intense physical activity.

Un Lac is a sublime film about, not uncomplicated joy exactly, but the exquisite pain of a transition... To really feel this film is to be struck by all this virginity: the freshness of air, of skin (how made-up and artificial all skin in every other movie looks after this one!), of every posture and gesture.
