Synopsis

Our take

A razor-sharp thriller exploring diverse characters and their perverse relationships, the Larrieu brothers’ film stars Mathieu Amalric as a literature professor and serial womanizer. A perfect combination of dark humor, twisted Hitchcockian suspense, and a chilly synth score from Caravaggio.
