The Lake (Un Lac) Trailer (2009)

Foreign trailer for The Lake, which screened at the 2009 AFI Fest.

Set in a misty and remote corner of the French Alps, A Lake envisions a family living in the woods and supported by the eldest son’s logging, despite his frequent, violent epileptic fits. He adores his sister, perhaps excessively. The arrival of a stranger to help the logging sets off tremors that dislocate the delicate balance of family relationships. In Grandrieux’s hands, this story becomes a complete sensory experience that engages the eye, ear, mind and emotions to their fullest extent.
