The Elk

Directed by Étienne Labroue

With Aurélia Petit, Olivier Broche, Délia Espinat-Dief, Frank Bellocq and Cyprien Dugas

Comedy fuses with science fiction in this quirky film about the chaos that ensues when an “elk” (in fact, a tall individual who wears a coat, does not speak, and has an elk’s head and antlers) emerges from the forest near a small town. Accepted by a family who interacts with him as if nothing is unusual, they initially shelter their guest from their neighbors. But not for long!
