The debut feature from Gaspar Noé, director of the controversial Irréversible, just as potent and confronting, I Stand Alone is set in France in 1980 and tells the story of The Butcher (Philippe Nahon from Irréversible and the horror film, High Tension), a retired horsemeat peddler, locked into a loveless marriage with his nagging, pregnant wife and a hateful mother-in-law. Living in their cramped apartment and taunted by the women every moment of the day, The Butcher is poised on the edge, seething with bitterness and hatred for a world he must endure, ready to explode. And then one day... he does. With I Stand Alone, Noe has unfurled yet another tale of the underbelly of French society. The Butcher is a volatile anti-hero, a loner wandering a dark landscape, locked in a battle with all that exists and on a tirade against humanity. (Accent Film Entertainment)
