Into the Forest
Synopsis
Two young boys whose parents are divorced travel to Sweden to spend their vacation with their father. When he suggests they spend a few days at a lakeside cabin in the middle of a forest, the boys are delighted. But Benjamin, the elder son, starts to grow uneasy about their father’s strange behavior. And the more time that passes, the less their father seems to want to return home.

About
LE FIGARO
Gilles Marchand creates a strange atmosphere and a disquieting feeling of suspense expressed through the gaze of a child. Chills and thrills guaranteed.
LE JOURNAL DU DIMANCHE
Carried along by a minimalist screenplay and a highly-suggestive directing style that is literally magnetized to the fantasy genre, Gilles Marchand offers us a tale with a bold and innovative form and structure.
TELERAMA
By favoring total immersion in the natural landscape, the filmmaker achieves a form of fantasy poetry in which fear is transformed into positive energy.
