 Bruno Dumont's Bodies
Central to Dumont's project is his faith in the power of cinema to return us “to the body, to the heart, to truth.” That faith secures his position in the lineage of filmmakers whom he most admires: Rossellini, Bresson, Pasolini.
Dumont reinforces Pharaon's longing for connection by again lingering on shots of the body, but now from Pharaon's subjective point of view: his boss's sweat-soaked neck, his mother's hand as she peels potatoes, Domino's and Joseph's bodies in the throes of sex, his own hand as he pets a nursing sow.
Dumont's attention to landscapes, specifically, and to the natural world, in general, again harkens to Tarkovsky, who saw humanity's increasing alienation from nature as symptomatic of its tragic loss of divine faith.

Santos Dumont lived in Paris at the time, and was by then one of the most active "aeronauts" in Europe, having developed a long series of dirigibles that displayed unparalleled agility, speed, endurance, and ease of control.
The danger of such tests caused Dumont and his team to quickly abandon them, although some constructive information was obtained that led to adjustments in the balance and weight placement of the airplane.
As Dumont allowed the 14-bis to run down the field, a car drove alongside, and Henry Farman would drop a plate out of the car each time he observed the wheels of the airplane to leave the ground or to touch down again.

Dumont: Yes, much more than Death Valley, which did nothing for me. What I liked especially was that the trees gave a vertical element to a flat horizontal landscape.
Dumont: No. My thinking was that today's spectator is so well-versed in film language that all theories about suspense, as argued by Dreyer and Hitchcock, on what makes you scared in cinema, can be ditched.
Dumont: Perhaps the end of the film is too definitive and authoritarian, too violent even, by comparison with the first three quarters of the film, where the viewer is quite free to wander around in his imagination.

 Chicago Reader Movie Review
I think Dumont’s film is unfinished in the sense that some paintings are; that is, some parts of the “canvas” are only sketched in while other parts are fully realized.
The crime in L’humanité is the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl on her way home from school, and practically the first thing we see in the film is the anguished response of the hero, detective’s assistant Pharaon De Winter (Schotte), to seeing her naked body in a field.
A fearless filmmaker, Dumont seems willing to risk using characters as metaphors for metaphysical states of being even when this plays havoc with the usual expectations of storytelling.
