Cosy, breathless, gentle comedy, grounded in texture. Redemptive, intimate, measured, hand-scored across twelve axes of taste.
How every film is hand-scored →In spite of their total inexperience, three suburban lascars launch themselves into close protection. Thanks to a "mythical plan", they are assigned to protect Marie Van Verten: a capricious and whimsical young woman, heiress of the biggest fortune in Belgium... And incidentally, a target for over-trained killers! Will our heroes' sense of improvisation be enough to get them out of trouble?
Our read · Les Mythos (2011) reads as a cosy, breathless, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, redemptive in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
