    His film from last year about Dag Hammarskjöld is worth checking out too. I wasn’t familiar with the story, so it was real edge of your seat stuff. So bonkers I might have to watch it again to make sure I took it all in.

    Bruno Dumont's series P'tit Quinquin and its follow-up Coincoin and the Extra-Humans. Absurd, black-humoured slap-stick and oblique social commentary disguised as a police procedural.

    I was already a Dumont fan so knew what to expect… somewhat. You'll remember the programme, even if you find that you didn't like it—which is probably more than you can say for a lot of television.

    I think that there are film-length edits for the US, but would suggest finding the mini-series. Has anyone seen both?
