Crève cœur

There is scant dialogue in Crève cœur and, when something is uttered, it refers to suffering, lethargy, care and sacrifice. What has happened here? What are the men looking for or what must they surmount? Or is it family, are they together and is living without any apparent goal a political choice of theirs? 
The why of the events and actions remains unclear, but the images are captivating and bring you closer to this group, so that you start understanding them better. The landscape and the small village contribute to the charged atmosphere, whilst the camerawork is physical and often right on top of the characters. Benjamin Klintoe won the Grand Prix de la Compétition Française during FID Marseille and received two special mentions at other festivals.
