LET THE CORPSES TAN is a French indie thriller deliberately modelled on the style of the 1970s: the direction is pure arthouse, the music raw and funky, the visuals often beautiful. A pity, then, that there's very little content to go with said style, rendering this a case of style over substance if ever I saw one. The plot is of the usual variety, with a bunch of characters (including a gang of gold thieves) holing up at a remote hamlet and violence ensuing. You watch and just wish that there was more going on.
