  • Description

Palme d'Or winning crime drama from acclaimed director Justine Triet

The story begins when Samuel is found dead in the snow outside the isolated chalet where he lived with his wife Sandra, a German writer, and their partially-sighted 11-year-old son Daniel. An investigation leads to a conclusion of "suspicious death" it's impossible to know for sure whether he took his own life or was killed. Sandra is indicted, and we follow her trial which pulls the couple's relationship apart. Daniel is caught in the middle: between the trial and their home life, doubts take their toll on the mother-son relationship.

★★★★★ This whole film has a wizardry to it which you’ll be thinking about for days. The telegraph
★★★★ It’s a lowkey, almost downbeat drama, but with something invigoratingly cerebral. The Guardian
★★★★★ breathtakingly intelligent and subtly perverse masterpiece The Playlist
