The film is "Home", starring Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet among others, and I definitely recommend it for those who love to travel off the main roads.It starts slowly, and immediately bring back the memory of Bunuel's "The Exterminating Angel". Nothing definite yet, just the premonition, but it is growing stronger every minute.
The family's bizarre journey into near-madness, with the whole cast doing simply marvelous job - particularly the kids.
VERY recommended. Available as Netflix streaming.
