Sometimes you come across a flick that just looks out and out f*cked up. Not because of gore, or set pieces, but just plain old fashioned concept. CALVAIRE (THE ORDEAL) looks to be just such a treat.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Marc Stevens (Laurent Lucas) is a traveling singer. At the nursing home, the concert has ended, and Marc takes the road. Shortly afterwards his car breaks down in the middle of nowhere.
He is taken in by Mr. Bartel (Jackie Berroyer), an innkeeper who became psychologically fragile after his wife Gloria left him.
This is how Marc’s ordeal begins…
Judging from the trailer it appears that psychologically fragile means Mr. Bartel confuses the singer dude with his dead wife. You can imagine that gets weird.
Check out the Official Site for stills and news. And if you happen to live in London you can check the flick out starting December 9th at the Odeon Panton Street.
