Absolutely astonishing. No movie has ever bottled up so much evil. Reminded me of some of my favourite Claire Denis movies in the way it reveals itself, slowly, sensitively, to be about something so dark. I wouldn’t be surprised if arch cinephile Scorsese checked this one out before making Killers of the Flower Moon, either - another film in which evil is rendered mundane by the spineless foot soldiers of imperial conquest.
For the uninitiated, the banner is entirely misleading…
