    Cannes Journal: Wolves kill here

    Published on 13/05/2016

    » Rarely did we come across a near-jackpot so early at Cannes Film Festival, where expectation is too unrealistic for any movie to match. But Alain Guiraudie’s “Rester Vertical” (or “Staying Vertical”, mark the erotic undertone of the title) came close. Two years ago, Guiraudie scored a cult favourite with a homo-homicide drama “Stranger By the Lake”, saturated with a sense of danger and exposed flesh, and this year he’s been upgraded to the main competition with another classification-defying “Rester Vertical”, which features a bisexual screenwriter, a family shepherds, a lot of vagina shots (in close up) and a pack of howling wolves in a moonlit French prairie. Plus the strangest, saddest sodomy scene in memory. In short, a weird, tantalising, improbably touching gems.
