Hounds

Pulp Fiction’s motif involving the necessity of disposing of an inadvertent corpse, effectively elaborated into a feature-length film in the Moroccan suburban “wilderness”, where you can’t dig a hole in the ground with a shovel. The core of the drama comprises a father/son team of losers who have to deal with the situation. Aware of his responsibility for the son he has dragged into this situation, the father makes one bad decision after another. An authentic setting and symbolic scenes in the increasingly tense atmosphere of one long, stressful night. And a crew of interesting characters among whom the man and his boy seek help. This impressive drama received a long standing ovation. [Cannes FF] (05/23/2023)
