Opening up with a natural dinner party scene, with clinking glasses and laughter, one would think this would be a low-key thriller with nothing really to offer. Yet, with this misleading introduction, you'll soon realize this is straight noir. This is frantic. It's a man searching for a seemingly dead wife, drowned in blind sorrow and possessed with hope. The casting is nearly perfect, the music a blend of U2 and romantic acoustic guitar, and the cinematography is wonderful. A terrific French effort that I highly suggest watching. 8.8/10.
