Description

Crime and passion draw two outsiders together in this early tour de force from Jacques Audiard. Carla (Emmanuelle Devos, in a César Award-winning performance) is a hard-of-hearing, underappreciated employee at an unremarkable construction company whose solitary life is jolted when she takes on a new assistant: Paul (Vincent Cassel), an ex-convict who quickly draws her — and her lip-reading skill — into a dangerous scheme. Through visceral camerawork and sound design, Audiard plunges the viewer into the pair's increasingly turbulent world, fusing noir conventions with layered character work to make a thriller of unusual depth and feeling.
