>Un lac relies entirely on an unnerving handheld camera, often capturing claustrophobic close-ups of the actors, counterbalanced by heady, blurry, desaturated landscape photography that owes as much to the ideas of Nietzsche and Heidegger as to the imagery of Caspar David Friedrich and Gerhard Richter. Given the Teutonic undertones, it’s easy to forget that the director is actually French.
