Lucie Prost's 'Fario' Debuts as a Haunting Eco-Fantasy Film

The film follows a young man's emotional journey back to his roots amidst environmental and personal turmoil.

The film 'Fario,' directed by Lucie Prost, features Finnegan Oldfield as Leo, a young engineer grappling with personal loss and environmental concerns.
Set against the backdrop of rural France, the movie explores themes of grief, ecological risks, and the struggle of a generation seeking purpose.
As Leo returns to his hometown to sell his late father's farmland, he encounters strange occurrences involving local wildlife, particularly the fario trout.
Critics note the film's ambitious blend of genres, including elements of drama, fantasy, and ecological thriller, though some find it overly complex.
Prost's debut is praised for its strong performances and atmospheric cinematography, despite some criticism of its narrative focus.
