Le Tronc

About This Movie

Le Tronc is an oddball comedy that plays with dark humor in a way that's both unsettling and amusing. The premise—an elderly woman hauling around her lover’s dismembered trunk—is bizarre, yet it somehow works, thanks to a blend of absurdity and sharp wit. The film's pacing has this quirky rhythm, lulling you into its eccentric world. Monique’s interactions with the trunk, which retains a form of voice, create a surreal atmosphere that stands out. It’s almost like a theatrical piece unfolding on screen, where practical effects take a backseat to the peculiar performances. The film dives into themes of love, guilt, and the absurdity of life, making it a distinctive watch for those with a taste for the unconventional.
