Seules les bêtes

The trick of circular stories or vantage points has been used many times with different levels of success; Akira Kurosawa RASHOMON is perhaps the most famous of all; however in that case there were different points of view (and colours); here the story is constructed with events related to each individual character forming a whodunit. The main problem is that not everything is completely explained; leaving the second story, the most intriguing of the whole, unresolved which makes it perhaps even unnecessary. Still your interest is almost always maintained until the last two twists at the end which seem made to add a last touch of madness and the irony. There is no much that can be said without revealing the mystery. A rich woman disappear in a farmers region and almost every character is related to the events somehow. In brief; it is not a great entertainment but if you are tired of the conventional crap, this one has a lot of surprises.

A really absorbing and unusual thriller, interconnecting the stories of five people linked to the disappearance of a woman in snowy central France. It takes time to get going but once it does, it's an intriguing and gripping tale, and quite convincingly carried through.

Subtitles did not distract from this twisted plot. I remained engaged throughout. Don't question the storyline, as it's a tad improbable. It's something different, in a good way.

Very clever and so entertaining . Couldn't keep my eyes off the screen to see what was going to happen next .Great acting from everyone involved....a first class thriller.
