Le Poisson Noyé

About This Movie

Le Poisson Noyé is this curious little fable that dives into the life of an old fishmonger, a truly despicable guy who keeps coming back to life. It’s got this eerie, almost surreal vibe that really draws you in. The pacing is kind of slow, which works for the themes of superstition and nature’s reclaiming. Those villagers and their reactions add this unsettling layer of social commentary. The practical effects, while not flashy, serve the story well, enhancing the oddness of his resurrections. Performances are raw and engaging—makes you feel the weight of their beliefs and fears. It’s a unique blend of dark humor and existential pondering, definitely distinctive in its approach.
