Léa Fehner drew inspiration for Les Ogres from her own childhood, which she spent behind the scenes of her parents’ traveling theater company. The director rewrites and reshapes her own family history, going as far as filming her parents in a mix of reality and fiction. The result is a whirlwind of emotions, colors, energy, with a handful of fabulous scenes. There is weeping, screaming, laughing and singing, accompanied by a swirling camera and a group of excellent actors who make this movie a nice little adventure.
