This movie really should come with a warning for yhe audience to brace for impact. 😬

Why do 2 people think that Marc is Gloria?
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
I think the moral of the story is: always keep you house/van in good working order. Don't skimp on that regular maintenance service, cuz you don't want to end up like Marc. 👍
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
This movie makes me feel like I shoulda just watched #StarTrek tonight. 👀
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
Got a half hour left, and I dunno how much more of this subtitled abuse I can take. 🤮

Criterion Channel - LANCELOT DU LAC (Robert Bresson, Farnce, 1974)
Time for a little less squealing.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
I think we know why Bartel's woman left him.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
Did the French decide to out-Deliverance #Deliverance?
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
the squealing noises were the most disturbing part. I'm still hearing them! #folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
Well… that was sure something. Effective in being a evocative experience. Can’t say that’s not true. Going to have to sit with that for a bit. Maybe do some reading.
New French Extremity, always weirder and more disconcerting than you thought.
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
thanks @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social and #folkhorrorfriday gang, that was -- engrossing. Stunning, like being tased. Somehow I managed to eat dinner while watching #Calvaire, mb not the best idea. Have a good night everyone, good luck with your recovery.
The director says he was inspired by this, which I've never seen:
ONE NIGHT...A TRAIN (1968) by André Delvaux with Yves Montand and Anouk Aimée.

How do you make the TCM dinner scene look a Sunday dinner with the Cleavers?
I guess that’s how.
FFS. Mad ass Frenchmen and their mad ass movies. The sound of this pig is going to haunt me.
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
I'm only a half hour in, but so far this is a movie of weird personal space/privilege violations.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
Oh, of course we have to throw some TCM influence in there, because none of this isn’t unhinged enough. How could we not? Marc? Gloria? Sally? Who can say really?
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
Oh, man…
How can this pub scene be even weirder than what we’ve already seen?
This was not in the brochure.
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
Bartel and Van Morrison, jilted by the same woman, both driven mad with loss. One a xenophobe, the other is taking hostages as her replacement in the French countryside. Women, how could you?
Something about the matter of factness of Bartel’s madness is really chilling.
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
The other one I'm thinking about is ILS, the French original of THE STRANGERS.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
I'n thinking FUNNY GAMES.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
I don't speak French, but I believe this movie started by claiming it was part tarantula.
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
There's not even going to be a final girl, is there?
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
If I’m making too many jokes for you, do the kind thing for both of us, mute me, even temporarily. This is uh… already pretty disturbing, and there’s a lot of movie to go.
#folkhorrorfriday #calvaire
Oh, that little snippet review... spoilers without being spoilers. Where's the tractor? Do we want to know?
#FolkHorrorFriday #Calvaire
We have found the furthest logical end point of the “male loneliness epidemic.” #Calvaire predicted it.
I’m also jealous beautiful French women don’t send me topless Polaroids too Bartel, but this is taking this a bit far.
It is possible I blocked this out of my memory. Yikes
#folkhorrorfriday
TFW you start thinking the pig fuckers might not be the weirdest ppl in town, and your only hope, is the worst feeling.

The dreamcatcher. Oh, Marc.

I was just looking at the little snippets on Rotten Tomatoes and found this gem:
"If you'd like to see the lead singer of the Dandy Warhols dressed as a women and tied to the back of a tractor then this film is definitely for you."

#horror – #Trailers – #horrormovies – #Calvaire – @ArrowFilmsVideo – Some people would kill for company. In the early 21st century, as European art and horror films began to push the boundaries of extremity and endurance, Calvaire emerged as one of the standout entries. A shattering debut from…
