BASTARDS carried many shock elements (i.e corncob, incest) in its dark revenge tale, yet with Denis’ touch, this film felt lika a long brewing nightmare. Vincent Lindon’s put forth a great performance; as a troubled family man caught in the horrors. The slick digital grain also added a wonderful sheen. 

STRAY NOTEDenis’ framing of the car crash wreckage was incredibly editorialized and somehow outstanding.

For a little bit at the start of the movie, I was unsure why this was something I had been told to add to my New French Extremity list.

That question is more than answered in the last 2/3 of this flick. Haunting stuff from Denis here. Excellent score to help wash it all down I suppose as well.
