La Prison des apparences (E04)

Voici l’un des rares cas où l’on compte avec la prévisibilité de l’histoire et où celle-ci ne dérange pas du tout, mais participe au contraire au message final. La photographie et le comportement des personnages sont vraiment zarbis. (01/12/2022)

The first real oddball in the Cabinet of Curiosities series. It offers an ironic take on today’s consumer society. The main character, played brilliantly by Kate Micucci, is quite peculiar — her eyes are like grapefruits, and her hobbies, like taxidermy, don't exactly fit in with the gossiping women in small-town America. She comes across a cream that's supposed to improve her appearance, and then things start to get weird. While it has the potential to satirize society, it mostly just felt absurd to me. (07/11/2022)

A very disturbing metaphor of contemporary society (it would be hard to find a more horrific setting than this women's group, to be sure), shot with Juraj Herz-like cinematography and played to perfection by Kate Miccuci – her final look into the camera made me really want to applaud her.
