French Mystery Thriller with Jean DUJARDIN and Claudia CARDINALE
5 April 2024
ACADEMY AWARD winner Jean Dujardin (in 2012 he won for THE ARTIST) and "The Girl Across the Road"

A real estate agent (Jean Dujardin) from Aix-en-Provence meets an attractive client (Marie-Josee Croze) who turns out to be his primary school sweetheart. This makes him remember more and more of his childhood in Oran, Algeria. Although happily married (Sandrine Kiberlain as his wife), he gets involved in an affair with his childhood friend. But something doesn't seem right...

Nicole Garcia has shot a beautiful romantic thriller with bright images from Aix, Nice, Marbella and Oran. Of course it's about the French's unresolved trauma in Algeria, but Hitchcockian elements are also not neglected.

The wonderful Toni Servillo (Il Divo / Gomorrha) and the great Claudia Cardinale (Il Gattopardo / Cera una volta il West) also act in roles.

Once again great actor cinema from France!
