About This Movie

Juillet en septembre is a curious blend of thriller and dark comedy that has its own kind of charm. The film follows Juillet, this young orphan girl on a quest to find her mother in a town steeped in secrets. The pacing has a laid-back feel, almost like it's taking its sweet time amidst the suspense. The character dynamics with Marie and Jacques are amusing, providing comic relief which contrasts sharply with Marbas, the timid psycho killer lurking in the shadows. There's something unsettling yet intriguing about how the film plays with innocence and danger. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, serve the story well. It’s a bit of an oddity, capturing a quirky atmosphere that makes it stand out among other thrillers of the era.
