THE INTRUDER (2004)

CLAIRE DENIS

Plot

A reclusive French hermit, a man nearing 70 with heart problems, living alone with his dogs in the forest near the French-Swiss border, uses his savings to fly to Korea for a somewhat shady transplant and then bids to build a ship to sail to the South Seas where he may be reunited with an estranged son. Another beautiful, slightly existential drama from the director of Beau Travail. A haunting, enigmatic meditation on life, death, our fragile sense of identity and the wages of solipsism.
