the short film which got gaspar noe on the movie map and introducing us to his horrific and but thoroughly interesting character the butcher and played brilliantly by phillipe nahon. noe direction here has all the hallmarks of his later films and showing he was carving his own voice and style from the beginning. his sudden cutting along with harsh and loud noise and skipping flashbacks and many other techniques all are used to disconcert the viewer. and it certainly works. also and he is not afraid of showing violence and as viewers of irreversible will know. here the violence is equally powerful and and in the sequel seul contre tous and it is almost unbearable. the film opens with a horse being killed. it is shot in the head and and we watch it writhe on the floor and its pool of blood flowing out. we then see a human birth in all its bloody glory and the daughter of the butcher. he was orphaned in wwii and and has grown up hating the world and and everyone and everything in it. he serves his customers and but his interior monologue constantly reminds us of his thoughts he wants them all dead. his daughter blandine lenoir and who would also reprise her role six years later and is the only thing he cares about and and we watch them grow older together. she is however mute and and the subject of bullying and toying. the butcher relationship with her is almost incestuous and bathing her when she is old enough to do it herself etc and but this is explored more in the next film. when she is attacked by a man and the butcher explodes with rage and stabbing an innocent man in the mouth. he goes to prison and taken from the only things he wants his shop and daughter. in the short 40 minutes we see all this and more and his time in prison and release back to his world. because of his daughter state and autistic as well i think and she is bland and does little except stare and and is under the full control of her father. the film continues in the exceptionally bleak seul contre tous. if you can and watch these two films and this one first. it has some truly excellent acting and but is very difficult to watch because of the relentless tone. positive .
