Slack Bay
Streaming video - 2016
The bourgeois and extremely eccentric Van Peteghem family have settled in for another summer at their cliff-top villa overlooking the picturesque Slack Bay. Their leisurely rhythm of sunbathing and seaside constitutionals is soon interrupted by the arrival of two bumbling inspectors investigating a string of tourists gone missing. As the macabre mysteries mount and love blossoms between the family’s genderqueer teen and the son of a local fisherman, the slapstick is ratcheted up to eleven. It’s no wonder director Bruno Dumont (*Li’l Quinquin*, *Camille Claudel 1915*) cites Peter Sellers, Monty Python, and Laurel and Hardy as cinematic influences for his delightful foray into winking, absurdist farce. Nominated for the Palm d'Or a...t the 2016 **Cannes Film Festival**. *"A spirited and often gorgeous film"* - Glenn Kenny, ***The New York Times***
