Film description

On the sand dunes among swamps liest the village of Boulogne-sur-Mer on the French coast of the English Channel. A guy lives, who may best be described by David Lynch’s phrase, a guy by the way. He ambles around the neighborhood, makes bonfires, hunts, kneeling from time to time, frozen in a prayer pose and staring into the horizon, but also commiting acts of violence and performing miracles with the same stony face. Is this an angel or demon, the embodiment of evil or deliverance? Outside Satan is one of Dumont’s most minimalist films – visually ascetic, almost devoid of dialogues, based on repetitions. Fascinating, indeed.
