They Came Back
“Why have the dead suddenly returned...”
DramaFantasy
The lives of the residents of a small French town are changed when thousands of the recently dead inexplicably come back to life and try to integrate themselves into society that has changed for them.
VIBE
A quiet, melancholic unease settles over a small town as the departed return. It's a hauntingly beautiful, slow-burn exploration of grief and the unsettling nature of the uncanny. The film feels like a waking dream, both sad and strangely hopeful.
