Marc as a character is a bit tricky, because its a bit hard to buy that a man who travels for work knows nothing about vehicle repair, and that he wouldnt have more strongly pursued a professional repair or just a ride out of the village.

Though the term is so generic these days, the best way to put it is simply to call it ‘art house horror’. Welz’s film is a remarkably surreal experience to watch, with hypnotic cinematography, refrained yet surprisingly brisk pacing and truly phantasmagorical moments..
