DIRECTOR Andrew Kötting
CAST Aurélia Petit, Jean-Luc Bideau, Adélaďde Leroux, Jacob Auzanneau
BANISHED BY FATHER JEAN-LUC Bideau from his French home after an incestuous flirt with sister Adélaďde Leroux, Jacob Auzanneau vows never to set foot on the ground again. Inspired by Andrew Kötting's own father-son relationship, this has ambitions to be a visionary fairy tale, but while the action is tinged with surreal melancholia, Kötting's focus on form over content weakens his insights. Strewn with offcuts from home movies and eclecticalry scored by Christian Garcia, it's fleetingly fascinating, but the plot's beset by pseudoliterary melodramatics. Kötting's aesthetic impulses and irreverent sense of humour are exceptional, but his grandiloquent style is something of an acquired taste. PP**
