The Return of James Battle2004
Directed by Didier Poiraud, Thierry Poiraud
The premise
James Bataille is in love. He attempts to stage an elaborate motorcycle stunt to impress the girl, but when it goes sour, he ends up in prison with a 133-year sentence. Bataille escapes from behind bars to make an appointment to fix the car of music biz tycoon, as well as watch the love of his life take part in the town's annual talent show.
Horror Vault's take
James Bataille is a lovesick daredevil whose ill-fated motorcycle stunt sends his life spectacularly off the rails — landing him behind bars with a sentence that defies all logic. Undeterred, he breaks free with a packed agenda: a car repair job for a music industry bigwig and a front-row seat at the local talent show. With aliens, decapitations, and rock concerts apparently in the mix, this Belgian genre mash-up gleefully refuses to play by any recognizable rules. Expect the unexpected — then expect something weirder.
