Our take

You never know what Canadian auteur Denis Côté will do next. How to follow an ennui-laden drama centered around curling? How about a witty essay film about animals? A tranquil, inquisitive festival hit, Bestiaire is a sublime exploration of how we look at the animals—and how they look at us.
