Catch-up Screening #11: Animal Totem by Benoît Delépine
Too quirky, unique, experimental or simply different, some films fail to find their place in cinemas and disappear in the shadows. This is often regrettable.
Animal Totem by Benoît Delépine, with Samir Guesmi, Olivier Rabourdin, Solène Rigot. From Beauvais airport to La Défense, accompanied by his rolling suitcase, Darius crosses the countryside and suburbs on foot to complete a mysterious mission, leaving no carbon footprint.
The cinema of Benoît Delépine, often shaped in a duo with Gustave Kerven, remains truly unclassifiable. Together, they built a universe where absurdity, tenderness, and a kind of soft rebellion blend to reveal the poetry of reality. Their singular perspective shines a light on outsiders and celebrates antiheroes with humor and humanity. With Animal Totem, his first solo film, Delépine extends this creative freedom, offering a biting, sensitive, and deeply personal work.
