The Middle of Nowhere

A wry, uneasy road movie through rural France, mixing deadpan humor with the quiet dread of suspicion and epidemic.

How it feels: Dark, absurd, satirical and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Race, friendship, fate, isolation
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
