Hauts-de-France is quite an intriguing piece. It starts off as a straightforward look at carrier pigeons, but then it morphs into something deeper, exploring France's grappling with terror and the migrant crisis. The film's atmosphere is peculiar, almost haunting, especially considering it's all processed in red wine, which adds a surreal quality. The pacing feels organic, allowing moments to linger, creating a space for reflection on lost traditions and societal shifts. The visuals surrounding the Calais 'jungle' are stark, yet there's a warmth in the hand-made quality of the film. It's not just about pigeons; it's a commentary on humanity, wrapped in a delicate and unassuming package.
