“The Empire”, by Bruno Dumont: what is this UFO halfway between “Stars Wars” and “P’tit Quinquin”?. Lightsaber fights… but filmed in front of beet fields.

Imposing spaceships that suddenly land in the heart of the Pas-de-Calais countryside. Spatiotemporal faults which materialize off a beach in the English Channel. This is what spectators can expect by purchasing a ticket for “Empire” in theaters this Wednesday, February 21.
