Alexandre, an instructor at the Canadian customs college, returns home to his small town after his employer places him on compulsory leave. As he forms a new friendship with a female Icelandic drag racer, he finds himself under surveillance by police investigators trying to get to the bottom of the sexually explicit drawings that have been troubling the town.

This insane comedy is sometimes like a funny Farenheit 451 and others like Godard's Alphaville (1965) set on a planet like the one in The Little Prince. [Full review in Spanish]

Seventh Row

The Noise of Engines doesn't quite stick the landing, but its certainly one of the funniest films of the year

Eye for Film

Dreams and reality are porous in Alexandre's world - characters and situations so heightened they could also be imagined - although Alexandre's existential crisis about where he 'fits' in the world feels sharply real.

Rated: 3.5/5
