Engelsk text.

When two young men arrive at a family-run guesthouse in rural France,
their anticipation of a few days peace and quiet is undermined by a
variety of sinister occurrences. A small bird is found murdered, its
neck in a tiny noose, a strangely sexualized stain appears on a wall,
and a slug crawls across the breakfast tray.

Are these all signs comprising a portent of truly cosmic significance,
or merely bizarre coincidences? And is it any wonder that one of the
visitors, Witold (piercing-eyed Jonathan Genet) has such difficulty
writing his novel, or that his companion Fuchs (Johan Libéreau) prefers
to find solace in earthier pleasures?

The final film by the late Andrzej Zulawski, director of the legendary
Possession (the only Cannes-winning arthouse film to be officially
classified as a video nasty), Cosmos adapts Witold Gombrowicz s
legendarily challenging novel into a beguilingly witty combination of
(deceptively) lighthearted French farce and a complex, knowing
reflection on the absurdities both of humanity itself and the way that
we define our notion of the universe according to our individual
hang-ups.
