In 'Couple in a Hole' by Flemish director Tom Geens, a Scottish couple - Paul Higgins ('In the Loop', 'Red Road') and Kate Dickie ('The Witch', 'Game of Thrones') - abandon civilisation to live like savages in the wilds of the French Pyrenees. An emergency forces them out of isolation, however, to seek help from a farmer who seems over-invested in their wellbeing.
'Couple in a Hole' is a surreal, Haneke-esque drama about grieving parents.
✮✮✮✮ "Paul Higgins and Kate Dickie are remarkable" - Benjamin Lee, The Guardian
