Our take
One of only two films to appear on the end-of-year top ten lists of John Waters and Cahiers du cinéma, Bruno Dumont’s latest is a pugnacious state-of-the-nation satire. Led by a cyclonic Léa Seydoux, France mounts a hilarious assault on the rampancy of media culture and its insatiable consumers.
