Mise à mort en été is an intriguing slice of cinema that feels like an eerie dreamscape. Shot during a blistering heatwave, the film captures a desolate town near Nice, pulling you into its ghostly atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to linger on the unsettling visuals and the ambiguous presence of its characters. There's an almost voyeuristic quality to the way it unfolds, blurring the lines between reality and the supernatural. The performances are understated, yet they resonate with a haunting depth. What stands out is the practical use of location; the town itself becomes a character, embodying isolation and mystery. It’s a fascinating exploration of existence, or perhaps the lack thereof, in a world that feels both familiar and otherworldly.
