Savage State

Director David Perrault's "Savage State" (L'État sauvage, 2020) is a French-Canadian western you can watch online on iFILM. Missouri, December 1863. A French perfume merchant named Edmond decides the Civil War has reached his front door — and leads his family west, then east, aiming to reach a ship back to Paris.

Alice Isaaz, Kevin Janssens and Déborah François lead the cast. The family's guide is a former mercenary whose past does not stay behind him. This is a western seen from the outside — through eyes that carry no mythology about the frontier and want nothing from it except to survive it.
