Li'l Quinquin (Bruno Dumont) is one of the most ridiculous films you will ever watch. The movie clocks in at a healthy 3h 26m of existentialism that mainly follows Commandant Van der Weyden in his search to piece together a crime of passion: a woman was cut to pieces and stuffed in a cow. Apparently it was originally a mini-series, but it is now presented as a film. I'd score it: 9.8 out of 10. This, I would consider a masterwork film, and yes, it is somewhat a slow burn. Even moreso the fact that there are very few moving parts to it. The title refers to a kid: Li'l Quinquin (Alane Delhaye) who acts, to some degree, as Van der Weyden's foil. And is concerned mostly with his Girlfriend: Eve Terrier (Lucy Caron). This is why foreign films are great. And Bruno Dumont is a director of the highest order. This, as I mentioned before, is part of a trilogy that includes another 3 hour mini series: Coincoin and the extra humans and empire. Do yourself a favor and give this one a shot.
Wind River (2017) Came to Netflix recently. Hawkeye and Wanda teams up to solve murder at a Native reservation in the winter. Enjoyed it for the most part. Some solid action in the 3rd act. Grade B
