Lucienne Eats a Car

About This Movie

Lucienne Eats a Car is this strange little gem that delves into the surreal side of unresolved childhood issues. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost hypnotic, which really allows you to soak in the atmosphere of discomfort and longing. It’s not your typical drama, that's for sure. The practical effects are quite striking, as we see the protagonist literally grappling with her past in such an unusual way. Performances are raw, almost unpolished, yet they carry this weight that stays with you. The film’s exploration of parental expectations and the bizarre coping mechanisms we adopt is pretty haunting, making it distinct among other indie dramas. It's the kind of film you see and think about long after you’ve turned it off.
