les revenants

i'm going to do all of you a favor and tell you to watch "les revenants/the returned". people with access to channel 4 or 4oD will perhaps already be aware of this show. likewise, anyone who knew about it when it was broadcast in france has already seen it. if, however, you are not lucky enough to be/have been in any of these places, get ready. this show is incredibly creepy (in large part due to mogwai's soundtrack) and massively cinematic.

i'm not even going to give you a synopsis because i don't want to spoil anything. just, dead people return to life in a small french village. BUT IT IS SO MUCH MORE than some lame ass zombie shit. go on, watch it: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

watch it. watch it before it becomes remade and americanized. also, many thanks to the user who uploaded this to youtube.
