Macron’s France gets tied to a chair in a basement and abused in this scabrous and gruesome state-of-the-nation black comedy from Jean-Christophe Meurisse.

“Bloody Oranges” isn’t a heavy-handed polemic. It’s more a genre-hopping experiment: sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying.

Few movies swap genres halfway through, and even fewer do so successfully. "Bloody Oranges" does both.

There’s a morality to Meurisse’s film and characters get their just deserts as well as a sprinkling of irony.
