“You ruined my life and now I’ll destroy yours,” vows hostage-taker Yann (Pio Marmai) to his terrified victim Anna (Kristin Scott Thomas), the Parisian surgeon who performed a fatal Caesarean on her abductor’s wife.
Unfolding in non-linear fashion, writer/director Lola Doillon’s claustrophobic drama explores the Stockholm Syndrome-style relationship that builds between her two leads.
At a taut 81 mins, this crisply shot two-hander is further proof of how modern French cinema consistently allows Scott Thomas opportunities to excel in psychologically challenging roles.
