Go, Toto!

“In addition to being a play on the name of the town of Vattetot, the Toto of the title is also Madeleine’s adopted wild boar. The animal eventually grows on people and also in size. Vincent is fond of monkeys, and goes to India in search of their pranks. An autobiography with a tinge of uncanniness, an extraordinary sin within the ordinary, affection and love towards beings, humans and animals alike, every budding tragedy sprinkled with humour. Creton allows himself to take certain formal liberties. Split-screen, as if to mimic the layout of big illustrated books of fairy tales”. Jean-Pierre Rehm
