CGiii Comment

Bleak despair...beautifully wrought.

The sinister undercurrent is continuous and contaminating...what exactly is the relationship between the doctor and his 'adopted' son???

But...it is the disintegration of Murielle that will keep you glued. A bewildering, exquisite performance.

The complexity and the horror of this film is stifling, infuriating and shocking - Lafosse retains control throughout and delivers a punch like no other...watch it gather awards.

The(ir) Blurb...

Like millions of other couples, Mounir and Murielle fall in love. Like millions of other couples, Mounir and Murielle have children. But unlike them, they accept to give up their autonomy by agreeing to live with Mounir's well off adoptive father, Doctor André Pinget. On the material level, all is well. But a house is not a home, and Murielle feels more and more stifled...
