Only the Animals

The film doesn't explicitly show LGBTQ+ identities or non-traditional gender expressions. Instead, it focuses on basic human interactions with their environment.

Gender is shown through a breakdown of social rules and traditional roles. Characters are driven by raw instincts and needs rather than stable family or leadership roles.

The casting reflects a rural, provincial French setting. The story stays within a European context without using diverse ethnic backgrounds to challenge the local makeup.

The film embraces moral relativism and questions traditional institutional authority. It prioritizes situational ethics and biological instincts over religious mandates or the rational Western social contract.

The film doesn't focus on neurodivergence or physical disabilities as central themes. Psychological issues are presented as universal human traits rather than specific conditions.
