Stars: Sophie Mousel, Jules Werner, Timo Wagner, Luc Schiltz, Philippe Thelen, Marie Jung, Jean-Paul Maes | Written by Loïc Tanson, Frederic Zeimet | Directed by Loïc Tanson
The Last Ashes is a competently directed, visually stunning, and superbly performed entry in this year’s FrightFest (2024). It is led by debutant director Loïc Tanson, who is at the helm of this Euro-Western folklore horror flick.
Set in the mid-1800s, this story plays out against the political backdrop of Luxembourg wrestling for its freedom from Dutch rule. At first glance, this story is a revenge thriller, but on closer inspection, it is more than that. Rather, it explores the theme of emancipation from a variety of perspectives.
Told in two distinct parts, we first meet our protagonist, Hélène (Sophie Mousel), as a child living in a remote, isolated commune led by the Graff family patriarch (Jules Werner). While Luxembourg is ravaged by war,...

It’s been a funny old few years for the Tour De France, with some shocking truths being revealed about racers having taken illegal enhancements. At first it seemed like there was only one or two of the top level guys but then documentary after documentary started bringing the whole era of doping to the forefront and it was revealed that… Well everybody was into it, top to bottom! This is something that the sport is going to have to endure and dare I say it “own it”. It’s done now let’s clean house and move on.
Of course this does pose a little bit of a quandary. How can you “just move on” when there are so many interesting stories that can be told here.
