(Les survivants)
Country: FR
Technical: col/2.39:1 93m
Director: Guillaume Renusson
Cast: Denis Ménochet, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, Victoire Du Bois
Synopsis:
Tormented by guilt over his wife's death in a car accident, Samuel retreats to his chalet in Italy to purge his demons. The means come in the unlikely form of an Afghan refugee and her trio of persecutors.
Review:
Notwithstanding its oblique choice of titles, this taut thriller addresses a cogent political issue with the expected empathy borne of special pleading, identifying a new threat to the non-European refugee: becoming quarry for the hi-tech hunter. The locations and cinematography add grandeur to what could be a routine chase thriller, and one which avoids many of the clichés.
