Profile of Humanité

Humanité can be described as bleak, gloomy, and contemplative. The plot revolves around sexual abuse, social relations, and a police investigation. The main genres are drama and foreign. In approach, Humanité is serious and realistic. The storytelling is slow paced. It is set, at least in part, in a small town. Humanité is located in France. It takes place in the 1990s.

Summary of Humanité

The story of a simple, kindhearted police detective in a small town in Northern France, Bruno Dumont's controversial film is a stunning work of art. Pharaon De Winter (Emmanuel Schotte), a police detective, is overcome with such an extreme sense of good that it overwhelms him at times. He spends his days struggling to come to terms with the world's wicked ways, and also attempts to contain his desire for Domino (Severine Caneele), his neighbor, whose boyfriend Philippe (Philippe Tullier) is crude and inconsiderate. This is a powerful, challenging film that will most certainly remain in the viewer's mind long after the final credits have rolled.
