Not that ambitious but effective, not terrific but not boring, without any useless scene, without "fat". The sceme of a man, victim of a car accident as a driver, who seeks vengeance against the person responsible of the crash. He was severely hurt at the face and suffers from brain aches. Riveting and solid story directed by Josée Dayan, a woman director specialized in TV material. This kind of movie would have not made any gross in movie theaters, because it is rough, plain, stark, not for any audience. I read the Paul Clement's book, a very short one, more or less inspired by Gustave Flaubert's novels atmosphere, in the countryside and a bleak story. Good stuff.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
