There is a global gender war between men and women. A teenage girl tries to escape this reality and arrives at a hidden place where a strange unicorn lives with a family: sister, brother, many children and an old, bedridden woman who stays in contact with the world through her radio.
Cinematography
Sven Nykvist's pastoral dread — pretty until it isn't.
Direction
Malle at his most unhinged, Buñuel via pastoral England.
Practical Effects
That unicorn. Real, uncooperative, deeply unmagical.
Director
Louis Malle
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The unicorn was apparently a nightmare to work with — kept trying to gore the crew.
Malle made this between Pretty Baby and Atlantic City, basically fleeing Hollywood to make an anti-film.
