Frontier(s)

Paris is burning, after the election of a right-wing government prompts riots in the city's slums. Using the chaos as cover, a gang of young thieves heads for the Luxembourg border, with a suitcase full of loot. En route, the vagabonds take a wrong turn. They check into an isolated inn run by a family of inbred Neo Nazis, whose deviance makes <em>Texas Chainsaw's</em> rednecks seem harmless. Following in the bloodstained footsteps of similarly themed French shockers such as <em>Sheitan, High Tension</em> and <em>The Ordeal</em>, this film confirms that the don't-go-into-the-woods fairytale lurks deep in the Gallic subconscious. On the surface, <em>Frontier(s)'</em> galling viscera makes le Grand Guignol of old seem tame. Director/screenwriter Xavier Gens (<em>Hitman</em>) stitches fine threads of social commentary throughout his survivalist yarn. Race, gender, class and the family unit become targets peppered with the shotgun of subtext. [source: Incredibly Strange Film Festival 08]
