Land of Madness
Luc Moullet: Anarchy in the Alps
August 8 - 14, 2025
Luc Moullet travels to five alpine villages, interviewing the residents about murder, madness, and the strange case of provincial life in this darkly funny consideration of the extremes of human experience.

Moullet travels to five villages, interviewing the residents about murder, madness, and the strange case of provincial life.
