In an almost dystopian community of fine looking houses that no longer have any residents, we encounter brothers “Joshua” (Lucas Doméjean) and “Maël” (Nicolas Mias) who are bored. The former is reeling from the recent suicide of his friend “Sylvain” (Naël Malassagne) and now, plagued by an inability to accept his loss, looks after some cats whilst both hang around the pool and basically kill time. Then he encounters a gang called the “Icebergs” who are far more interested in the shotgun than they are in the man, as they rather violently demonstrate. Now whilst there is some merit in Doméjean’s clearly troubled characterisation there is simply nowhere near enough for us to get our teeth into, nor do we really have any points of reference to explain why or how this situation developed or why, indeed, those of us watching should bother. From what I could see, there are no female characters and so this rather feral, all-male, survival of the shootist society is presented to us with little context. It looks fine, but maybe ought to come with explanatory notes.
