[REL] Curling (2010)

Post by tedlawson »   2 likes

From IMDB:


Set on the fringe of society, in a remote part of the countryside, Curling takes a keen look at the unusual private life of a father and his daughter. Between his unremarkable jobs, Jean-François Blain devotes an awkward energy to Julyvonne. The fragile balance of their relationship will be jeopardized by some very dreary circumstances.

Anyone know about this Canadian film? Please post a FLM worthy review.

Don't know if they're needed or wanted, but I found some English Subs for this movie. Checked them out and they fit the rip here perfectly. They have the 'Downloaded from Opensubtitles.com' blurb at the beginning.

The film's initial realism is insidiously undermined by some vague threat, subtly contaminated by tricks borrowed from a horror movie. Meanwhile various elements, more usual in conceptual cinema, influenced by contemporary art, also seem to have infected the original setting.

What makes Curling unusually beautiful is the way an indecipherable blackness, marked by madness, incest and death, works its way into a system that it gradually corrodes without ever gaining the upper hand. It remains a mysterious, open film, uncluttered by any of the reassuring revelations or explanations that might console us and allay our fear of anything really imaginary.

You gradually realise that this is a brilliant reworking of Psycho, in which mother and son have been replaced by father and daughter and stripped of all the conventions that became the stock in trade of the horror genre. You don't often see a film this good.
