After several successful and rather peculiar comedies, the directing duo of Gustave Kervern and Benoît Délépine shift their focus to the genre of psychological drama. Their humour is always nonconformist, and the protagonists are neither beautiful nor likeable. The journey of fifty-something Paul does not lack black humour, as much as you can find it in the very last pointless journey towards death. Yet the filmmakers avoid simple reconciliation and sentiment. They strive for an uncompromising portrait of a man at the end of his life, and the casting of writer Michel Houellebecq in the main role, difficult for the viewers to approach, is one great quality of this honest and surprisingly open-minded film.

Out of Nature twenty years later. This movie looks cheap, but is an example of functionally composed digital visuals of a home-made video: a man in his fifties wanders through French countryside and in the voice-over sincerely and openly thinks about himself and the emptiness and meaning of his life, considers suicide, etc. And surprisingly it’s neither
annoying nor boring, thanks to the looks and minimalistic facial expressions of the protagonist and even more so to the
wonderful and in places even poetic monologue that aptly summarizes familiar existential feelings and thoughts while additionally exhausting the poetry of the French language.
