Our take

A crime thriller skilfully enhanced by the motifs of political revenge, Shadow Dance is French director Romain Goupil’s stirring second feature. The act of infiltrating into the arms of the enemy has rarely been rendered as absorbingly on screen. Starring acclaimed French star Jean-Pierre Aumont!
