, acclaimed by critics, Jean-Paul Civeyrac tries the genre film: he directs a black series, located between psychological drama and thriller, which also offers some appreciable dreamlike breaths.
Sophie Marceau plays this powerful role wonderfully, although far from her usual register, and has been able to capture the darkness of her character: a woman subjected to tensions, who ends up merging into madness.
"When Juliane loses the pillars of her life, it's like a grain of sand that enters the machine to stop everything," she analyzed during a round table in the presence of the director.
Johan Heldenbergh, Cristina Flutur, Héloïse Bousquet, Michaël Erpelding and Ouassini Embarek are also in the cast.
Released October 5.
