Yes! The first time we've gotten a list that I'm mostly familiar with - and I really enjoyed Season of the Witch on my initial watch. Already looking forward to rewatch it with the #folkhorrorfriday gang!

Why do 2 people think that Marc is Gloria?

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. 👍

I think we know why Bartel's woman left him.

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.

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.

I'm only a half hour in, but so far this is a movie of weird personal space/privilege violations.

Alex Garland saw this and asked, "what if we got rid of the rape but added some Mpreg?"

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?

spiritually this is a western. it's a francophone western. lawlessness, rugged individualism, a surplus of men

Oh, man…

How can this pub scene be even weirder than what we’ve already seen?

This was not in the brochure.

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.

The other one I'm thinking about is ILS, the French original of THE STRANGERS.

I don't speak French, but I believe this movie started by claiming it was part tarantula.
