Director: Ursula Meier
Starring: Isabelle Huppert, Olivier Gourmet, Adalaide Leroux
Year: 2008

Family who lives an isolated but happy existence beside an unfinished highway, falls apart when the road opens.

Comments: Somewhat stylized and surrealistic, but very riveting. Aptly described as a "road movie in reverse," reflects some existential questions about home and family. The highway which runs literally across the family's front door, serves as an effective metaphor.

Recommended.
