Let the Corpses Tan
Laissez bronzer les cadavres
With a heavy haul of 250 kilograms of gold bullion, the grizzled criminal mastermind, Rhino, and his ruthless gang of cutthroats, head to a ramshackle retreat somewhere in the Mediterranean to lay low on a scorching day of July. However, the unexpected and rather unwelcome arrival of the bohemian writer, Bernier, his muse, Luce, along with a pair of no-joke gendarmes further complicates things, as the frail allegiances will soon be put to the test.
Why it matters
A sun-drenched fever dream of violent standoffs and surreal menace that drenches the Mediterranean heat in blood and chaos.
- A delirious blend of crime thriller and psychedelic Western, drenched in neon-soaked atmosphere and brutal practical effects.
- Director Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani channel giallo’s stylized carnage with an acid-trip sensibility that defies genre conventions.
- Performances teeter between theatrical and primal, pulling you into a claustrophobic, sun-blasted powder keg of paranoia and greed.
- For fans who crave horror that’s equal parts art-house and grindhouse, where narrative coherence gives way to visceral mood and sensory overload.
