Our take

Based on a play by Friedrich von Schiller, this modern tale of vengeance and crookery is a cold-blooded affair between the four peculiar members of a disjointed family. Set in the privileged high-finance world of Luxembourg, Les brigands is a crisp neo-noir fuelled with sibling tension and rivalry.
