Un 32 Août Sur Terre (August 32nd On Earth) (1998) ***1/2

Having watched Un 32 Août Sur Terre (August 32nd On Earth) (1998), I've now seen all the solo credited feature-length films by director Denis Villeneuve and I can safely say that he is one of my current favorites. This was his feature debut and it's the most humorous of his films (a bit reminiscent of Bottle Rocket (1996) at times). All his films are completely different from each other in tone and scope and in that way he reminds me a bit of Steven Soderbergh but their styles are nothing alike. I can't wait for his next film, Sicario (2015)!
