2005 • Belgium • Directed by Fabrice Du Welz
Travelling cabaret singer Marc Stevens (Laurent Lucas), finds himself stranded when his van breaks down in a remote mountain village. He is rescued by local innkeeper Mr. Bartel (Jackie Berroyer) who offers to help Marc fix his van and give him shelter for the night. But Bartel is fragile and unstable, and Marc reminds him of his long lost wife. Soon, Bartel is refusing to let Marc leave. With his van sabotaged and no means of calling for help, Marc’s ordeal is about to begin…
A gripping, utterly involving thriller that drew comparisons to Deliverance, Straw Dogs and The Hills Have Eyes, Calvaire will put you through the wringer.
