The Intruder
- 7PM
Denis’ famously elliptical style reaches new heights of head-rush abstraction in this prismatic take on an autobiographical essay by philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy. The titular figure is perhaps the most enigmatic outsider in Denis’ cinema of outsiders: an aging hermit who journeys from the Alps to Korea to Tahiti in search of both a black market heart transplant and his estranged son.
