    L’Humanite by Bruno Dumont

    As a mannerist portrait of a few individuals, it’s often amazing; as a
    spiritual statement about suffering in the contemporary world, it
    almost lives up to its title; for its blunt depictions of sex, it’s
    about as carnal in an unvarnished way as filmmaking can get; and as a
    visual rendering of an area of northern France, it’s pretty
    impressive. But as a police procedural, it’s unsatisfying, far from
    being worked out in all its details, Jonathan Rosenbaum
