Ursula Meier's dark semi-comic fable concerns a family living next to an unused motorway. Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet excel as the parents.
Director: Ursula Meier
Overview
The first feature from Ursula Meier (who later made Sister), this portrait of an isolated family living in a house next to an unused motorway makes for an intriguing allegory - partly comic, partly disturbing - about the trials and tribulations of contemporary life. Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet excel as the laissez-faire parents who are forced to make a decision when the road is suddenly opened to an onslaught of traffic.
