Excess Will Save Us dives into a peculiar slice of life in rural France, blending tension and absurdity. The documentary captures the eerie stillness of the village juxtaposed against the chaos of an impending hunting season and drunken altercations among Polish workers. It’s not just about the incidents themselves; it’s about how these moments reflect deeper societal anxieties. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the unnerving atmosphere, and the performances, though unpolished, evoke a rawness that feels authentic. What stands out is the way the film uses everyday dynamics to highlight themes of community and conflict, making it a distinctive entry in the documentary genre.
