Synopsis

Li’l Quinquin is back! He is now a surly teenager called Coincoin and is drawn towards a rightwing nationalist group. Eccentric inspector Van Der Weyden is faced by an even more bizarre mystery that revolves around extra-terrestrial magma falling from the sky. The Extra-Human invasion has begun!

Our take

Bruno Dumont has always married the austere to the provocative, but only relatively recently has this been unexpectedly hewn to comedy. The French director returns to the setting of his bizarro mystery Li’l Quinquin for a wry, Invasion of the Body Snatchers tale, set in the wilds of northern France.
