description: husband & wife, restaurant, possessed by marten, truffle sniffer, strengle, beat to death, crawling like worms
(Geoffrey): (rating 7)
And then the demons came...or are they aliens....or genetic enhanced mutated marten ready to take over man kind's place in the world? Who knows? That does not become clear in this movie. What does is that they want to rule the world by destroying all competition on black truffle dealers. In the near future truffles are just as important as gold or oil. When a guy with a excellent nose for finding the truffles becomes known the by evil organisation, he is persuaded to join them.
People with an economic background or feeling will like the way they push this story with the economic 'downfall' since there is quite a price drop and it will leave some speculation if the story in this movie has some 'truth'.
For the people not , you can enjoy the movie by it's original story/concept and funny looking/crawling marten in black and white, though the movie is a little bit slow here and there.

Trouble with truffles due to stola-monster galore
Links: AFFF / imdb
Go Canada! This gritty black-and-white film derails wonderfully from its very first minute. Truffles are suddenly found by the dozen - big positive side of global warming you see - and humanoid robots controlled by teethy aliens in the shape of stolas try to take everything over. Still with me?
Wonderful settings, great music, and stola-animatronics who by their eighties-feeling add to the overal quirkyness. Again, thank God, not a film which tries to hold up a mirror; merely one which presents you with likable main characters and a crazy story.

Total truffe domination!

Weird anti capitalistic film about one man fighting the system / big corporation. Great intro into the film with the music of "I put a spell on you". It lost its pace halfway through the film, which also had to do with the shift in perspective from Charles the truffe finder to his wife.
The black & white photography really works for this film, set design, costumes and lighting were all nicely in tune with each other creating a believable otherworldly atmosphere.

Truffe is a Canadian SF film shot in Montreal, Quebec. I have a bond with Quebec, so it was nice to hear the Quebecois French dialect again.
Because of the Earth warming up, there are growing truffles in Montreal, a place where they normally not grow. A man has a very good sense of smell and is successful at finding truffles. A company discovers this and offers him a job. It's a weird company with strange acting employees, but the man needs money to pay the rent. And what are those furry snakes with led's in their head doing there ?
The movie is shot in black and white and is no hightech SF, but the story is nice and told in a relaxing way.
