Cinema Releases - Coincoin and The Extra Humans
Quinquin is now a grown-up and goes by the nickname CoinCoin. He hangs out on the Pas de Calais and attends meetings of the Nationalist Party with his childhood friend Fatso. His old love, Eve, has abandoned him for Corinne. When a strange cow-pat like substance is found near the town, the inhabitants suddenly start to behave very weirdly. Captain Van Der Weyden and his loyal assistant Carpentier investigate these alien attacks. The Extra-Human invasion has begun.
Acclaimed by critics and viewers alike, Bruno Dumont's P'tit Quinquin is back for a second season.

Bruno Dumont (born 1958, Bailleul, France) studied philosophy before he started directing films. To date, he has directed seven feature films and now a television series, all of which border somewhere between realistic drama and the avant-garde. His feature films are La vie de Jesus (1997), L'Humanite (1999), Twentynine Palms (2003), Flandres (2006), Hadewijch (2009), Hors Satan (2011) and Camille Claudel 1915 (2013). L'Humanite and Flandres were both awarded the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, while Hadewijch won the FIPRESCI prize. Dumont began working for television with the series P'tit Quinquin (2014), which aired on ARTE. The move also brought humour into Dumont's filmic world for the first time and a shift in genre, which he repeated in his next feature film Ma Loute (2016), a blend of comedy and drama shown in competition at Cannes in 2016. The next change of tone was even more extreme, as the filmmaker tackled the challenge of a rock musical with Jeannette, l'enfance de Jeanne d'Arc (2017), based on a play by Charles Peguy. He presented the sequel Jeanne in the Un Certain Regard selection this year in Cannes.
Coincoin and the Extra Humans is the sequel to P'tit Quinquin and was presented during the 71st Locarno Festival in 2018, where he received a Lifetime Achievement Award.

★★★★★
‘God's gunk’
‘A deceptively gentle polemical comedy so rich in ideas it deserves its own sequel.’
‘Bruno Dumont's irresistible sequel to 'P'tit Quinquin' splatters rural French bigotry.’
‘Hopefully, the story of the Pas-de-Calais farmer’s son Coincoin (Alane Delhaye) with the misshapen nose, formerly Quinquin will run and run, like Michael Apted’s Up documentary series.’
Graham Fuller, the arts desk
'Fuzz, sludge and lewd laughs
'Bruno Dumont continues his reinvention as a master of farce with this semi-satirical tale of alien goo and buffoonish cops.'
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
★★★★★
'If weird, deadpan comedy with a whiff of cosmic horror is your thing, step right in.
In part a satire on racist attitudes, especially those held by the forces of law and order.
What is so enjoyable about this film is that Van der Weyden and Carpentier are a great comic duo.
I was in stitches a lot of the time while watching this.'
Colin Dibben, CLOSE-UP FILM
‘Weirdly joyous, elevating us even as it drops us squarely back in the turmoil of 2020 - with the right person or people at your side, even the Apocalypse itself might come to seem like a carnival.’
Formerly known as Quinquin, Coincoin (Alane Delhaye) is no longer p'tit, rather a small town boy racer, possessed of rough edges - including the most extraordinarily asymmetrical nose ever filmed - but also a heart of gold. His former sweetheart Eve (Lucy Caron) has taken up with a farmer's daughter.
"Girls are complicated," sighs Coincoin, staring into the middle distance, to which Eve immediately retorts: "No, boys are too simple."
Mike McCahill, Cinesthesiac
‘A blackly comic murder mystery, the show starts off as a macabre riff on police procedurals like Midsomer Murders, crossed with kids-up-to-mischief comedies like The Little Rascals, as Van Der Weyden (Bernard Pruvost)...What is gradually revealed about the rural southern France setting is the deep prejudices of its residents...Even the initially ‘good’ leads, the arguable points of identification for the audience, turn out to be belligerent bigots.’
Josh Slater-Williams, SciFi Now
'Bruno Dumont's confounding TV series returns for another madcap and macabre adventure, with Bernard Pruvost as an absurd detective investigating some whiffy business.
Dumont doubles down on slapstick comedy, from Keatonesque pratfalls and the splattering of cowpats from the heavens on characters' heads to the propensity of the local deputy for driving his car on two wheels.'
Ben Nicholson, Sight and Sound
'A brilliant second season of Bruno Dumont's superb series revolving around Quinquin features aliens, refugees and our favourite madcap cops...Coincoin is even better than the series that preceded it.'
Kaleem Aftab, Cineuropa
'Bruno Dumont gets up to his comic tricks again. Offers all the exhilaration of a filmmaker of talent loving what he is doing.
You don't have to be familiar with P'tit Quinquin which took place in the same community a few years earlier in order to be drawn in here, but for those who did see the earlier film meeting up with the established characters once more is part of the pleasure.'
Mansel Stimpson, Film Review Daily
'Coincoin and the Extra-Humans mashes up genres, tones, and influences, unifying them into a cinematic universe that's intensely personal and full of its creator's observations and insights.
Dumont's radically loopy, politically confrontational, grandly geographical, infinitesimally detailed transfiguration of familiar police-investigation dramas, and to merely describe it in broad strokes is to give proof of Dumont's profuse imagination and symbolic ingenuity.'
Richard Brody, The New Yorker
'The film evokes a deep-rooted spirit of reactionary malaise, of people whose lives are hopelessly circumscribed by their own fears and prejudices.'
Keith Watson, Slant Magazine
'Coincoin's message of strange shared humanity and seeing ourselves in foreign bodies of all kinds, in learning empathy by force if necessary, unfolds at a deliberate pace.
Dumont's comedies are a gift we were never promised and now they're something we should never have to live without.'
Scout Tafoya, RogerEbert.com
'Dumont continues to work wonders with nonprofessional actors and forbidding landscapes, and this creates a fascinating frisson with the ridiculous comedy.'
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
'CoinCoin and the Extra-Humans takes the tropes and character types from the first movie and accentuates their extremities.'
Josh Encinias, The Film Stage
'Look no further than CoinCoin and the Extra-Humans, which revels in the absurdity of our collective inertia. For 3+ hours it shows why glamorizing mankind's response to global chaos remains an utterly ridiculous endeavor.
Dumont weaponizes repetition and emotional listlessness to hilariously mirror what it feels like to be helpless in a world slowly going to hell in a hand basket...'
Glenn Heath Jr., Mubi Notebook
'Absolutely amazing and strange to return to this world 4 years later. Everyone has aged. All the kids went through puberty. All I can say is that Dumont is a genius. And I'm looking forward to the next installment.'
Sean Baker, Letterboxd
'Diffusely organized yet immersive in its ability to entertain, Coincoin and the Extra-Humans is a beguilingly strange new chapter from the prolific Bruno Dumont.'
