When Jonathan Glazer's Under The Skin was release it's haunting, raw, beautiful imagery was awe aspiring and it's uniqueness coaxed you in.It split critics from the viewers wetting our curiosities for more unique similar films and Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s Évolution might just have that film.
Nightmarish, haunting tone that will creep under your skin, discordant score terrifyingly similar to Mica Levi's stunning score. Certainly lives up to the film's harrowing feel, mixing body horror and fantasy a strange off kilter that just excites us.
No word on an UK release or distributor just yet for Évolution hopefully sometime 2016. The film stars Max Brebant, Roxane Duran, Julie-Marie Parmentier.
Ten-year old Nicolas (Max Brebant) lives an austere and isolated life with his mother in a remote seaside community populated by women and other little boys about his age, but seemingly devoid of adult males. In a hospital overlooking the tempestuous ocean, the boys are all subjected to regular medical treatments — or, perhaps, some mysterious experiment.
Only Nicolas seems to question what’s happening to him and his friends. He finds an unexpected ally in a young nurse, Stella, whose kindness is a break from the severity that all the other women seem to reserve for their young charges. Increasingly suspicious that his mother and the nurses are lying to him and that something sinister is going on, he follows the women at night, determined to find out what they are up to. What he discovers on the beach signals the beginning of a nightmare from which he’s helpless to escape.
