Cavales #[nn]

A haunting winter atmosphere dominates this 2008 Soleil release from Stéphane Piatzszek and Stéphane Douay — the cover juxtaposes a close, shadowed face of a young woman against a stark snowbound night scene where two figures stand in the cold, one with arm outstretched in a tense standoff pose. The title Cavales — meaning flights or pursuits — feels perfectly suited to this mood of pursuit and unease, with blood-red lettering cutting across the white expanse like a warning.
