Editor's Notes

Note

Early Audiard, before A Prophet and Dheepan made him a festival fixture. Criterion picked it up alongside Beat That My Heart Skipped, and collectors who know those later films are backfilling. Thin discussion but the people who have seen it tend to recommend it as an underrated entry in his catalog.
