Faut pas avoir peur de la bête

Drama, video, colour, 52 mins., 1981, Québec, Canada, French

Six diverse characters come together in a country house. The situation gives rise to manifold imbroglios and unforeseen reversals. A duel with rakes pits father against son, both wearing snowshoes in the middle of summer. An ailing Egyptologist regains the use of his legs, is murdered and revived. A young Black man falls madly in love with an old woman, made younger by passion. Shot with no script using first-rate improv artists, Faut pas avoir peur de la bête rigorously pushes the actors' creative imagination to its wildest limits.
