In a Violent Naturesticks to the Basques of a masked killer from end to end of a nomadic film flirting between contemplative cinema and murder« Gore-guignolesques ».Curious marriage of genres,In a Violent NatureTurns back all codes meticulously. Where the victims are usually followed, the executioner is now being held. Where editing tended to become epileptic to maintain palpable tension, this film turned to the most complete contemplative. A confusing movie that likeTerrifiing, offers ever more playful gore scenes and completely breaking tone in relation to the victims' experiences. An unclassifiable and aesthetically worked object, which manages never to annoy despite a rather hovering rhythm. Ready, go, hike!

Trailer
Excellent movie! I confess that this is my horrific slam from the beginning of the year. Choice of format, no music, raw, radical. The heavy sound of the killer's steps, his imposing tile, his fingers swollen and without nails, the mask of vintage firefighters, scenes of incredible cruelty (wood cracking machine)... Gérardmer's prize amply deserved.
