Set in Paris the story follows Lisa, who, while on vacation with her husband, rekindles a passionate affair with her ex-boyfriend. But that may lead to a murder.
CINEMANIA’s opinion :
French filmmaker Nicole Garcia (FROM THE LAND OF THE MOON) has developed a remarkably controlled film noir presented in competition at the 77th Venice Film Festival. It is indeed the fire of sentiments, internal conflicts and danger covered up with lies, the mysteries and the temptations of the world of money and luxury, that are at issue here, in the entanglement of three trajectories masterfully interpreted by Stacy Martin, Pierre Niney and Benoît Magimel. According to Cineuropa, “Confronting the film noir genre directly for the first time (which she had sometimes approached by small touches in her previous films), Nicole Garcia manages to imbue it with her ability to work on the interiority of characters (and to offer beautiful roles to her three actors).”
Festival selections:
⇢ In Competition at Venice 2020
