Canicule appears to be an attempt to portray all of humanity as depraved, degraded or, perhaps more aptly: dégueulasse. It never lets up and every single character is simply horrible. The scenes of the wheat fields are gorgeous but the rest is as dirty as dirty gets. I suspect that everyone involved in this production came to regret having helped to make this thing a thing. If you like hyperviolent films, you might delight in this one. Otherwise, I'd advise staying away.
