If you have already strolled along the beautiful paths of the Parisian Bois de Vincennes, you may have missed it all. French documentary director Claire Simon digs deep into the dark woods to meet those who have turned their backs on life as we know it, and the others. Prostitutes, castaways, refugees from dictatorial governments, or a simple young mother, this films shows us people and explores their link to this natural setting, just a few yards away from the noise of the big city. Why would you want to live in a forest in sometimes dire conditions ? Freedom ? Necessity ? Whether it is to party, to cycle, to run, to hunt, to make love, each one has a good reason to come here. This beautiful and emotional film is a portrait of humanity as a whole. It is delicate and rich. Don't miss it.
