Animal Nature: Three by Denis Côté
Fascinated by eccentric characters and unpredictable situations, prolific French Canadian filmmaker Denis Côté—who won the best director prize at this year’s Berlin Film Festival for his latest, Social Hygiene —has won a passionately devoted audience with his offbeat style and focus on those living outside the mainstream. This triptych brings together three of Côté’s typically unconventional best: Bestiaire , a tantalizing documentary musing on the human fascination with animals in captivity; the tragicomic lesbian romance Vic + Flo Saw a Bear ; and Boris Without Beatrice , an arresting portrait of masculinity in deep crisis.
