Intruder, The

Aroview: More sensory cinema from the dir. of BEAU TRAVAIL, lodged in a globally sprawling, free-associative narrative encircled loosely around one man’s search for a heart transplant and his long-lost Tahitian son.

To puzzling and beguiling effect, Denis’ fluidity of camera and mise-en-scene reaches a new summit of poetic, intuitive filmmaking, and though largely disorienting as a viewing experience, is sure to leave its imprint on those with an open mind for its cosmic logic, God's eye perspective, and rapturous widescreen imagery. The Tindersticks provide the brooding score.
