“And, Bruno Dumont, L'humanité. It really scared me. I remember when I saw it first., very inspiring, very beautiful, very sad.”

Hlynur Pálmason

Ben Whishaw actor

“L’humanité. This guy is extraordinary. Bruno Dumont. I mean, I don’t even know how to describe… They’re a bit like Bresson, but with a kind of more obvious, weird, dark humor. This film I’m obsessed with. He worked with a nonprofessional cast. It’s very disturbing, but also kind of, again, a sort of strange tenderness. L’humanité. Bruno Dumont. I’m going to take that. I want to see everything by him.”
