Organic
a BERTRAND BONELLO picture
Synopsis
“To love with your molecules is only possible at the beginning of a relationship,” theorizes Marguerite who has been married to Paul for five years; miraculously the molecules in their pairing are still at work. Except for one thing: they live in Montreal, and molecules do not like the cold! Paul, who works in a zoo, takes care of his sick son from another relationship and his father who is a clandestine immigrant. Marguerite is terribly bored then one day her molecules explode and she runs away with the brother of the parish priest…

Press
"The film has something of Bresson, but not corny; something of Haneke, but not cruel; something of Egoyan, but not dreary."
Premiere
"An elliptical and disturbing first feature that comes out of an undefinable genre, evading all the predictable acts of characters and of the director himself - that is its strength and intriguing beauty. The director depicts the story with a gentle yet firm hand and allows a beautiful and touching light to filter through."
Le Monde
"Anatomy of Love : Organic dissects our lives with a calm cruelty and results in pleasure."
Libération
"A first feature shot with understatement, but so tense that it could snap."
L'express
"Sensual while remaining clinical, a film on the edge of being dark and disturbing, accomplished with real insight."
