"The Bloodhound" is quite different from standard, uninventive movies. Some reviewers will say "this doesn't make any sense" or "this is never explained" but I don't think it matters. It's not about a plot, it's about characters and their relationship, and it's about atmosphere. It is essentially a film about two characters, well three if you count the elusive sister. Francis visits his friend, the reclusive JP (and his twin sister Vivian). That is the plot. The rest is more dialogues, and about the characters. Are they good people? Are they bad people? What are they expecting from one another? What are they up to?
The film has a "dreamlike" quality. You know, how dreams don't always make sense but you go along? The actors are wonderful, very believable. The house (because everything takes place in this house) looks great. The set decoration is excellent. And Patrick Picard's work as a director and screenwriter is fascinating.
So don't expect this film to fit regular patterns. You never know what to expect because it is a world in itself, unlike anything you have seen before. Well unlike anything I have seen before anyway. But isn't "not knowing what to expect" the best feeling ever when watching a film? Go along for the ride, don't question anything, and enjoy!
