For his first solo achievement after having co-directed Seuls Two with his friend Eric Judor, Ramzy Bedia had a great idea: a sweet love story between two bitter and absurd people dressed as animals to hide their discomfort and serve their desperate need to exist. The risk inherent in such a premise is sadly illustrated by the result: a series of small ideas and sketches poorly assembled around a nonexistent plot. Despite the beautiful art direction and great care taken with this offbeat story, in the end Hibou is poorly thought out, with little emotion or humor, and ultimately unable to find its own identity.
