I have always liked Vincent Lindon. He's a truly dedicated actor who
gives his one hundred percent best in each of his performances.
Although you may appreciate or not the message of the film in which he
plays. In every movie, he says that he leaves a part of himself. I
believe it.
This feature is quite depressing. The tale of a sailor - Lindon - who
returns home because the death - suicide - of his brother in law, and
also best friend. A strange, weird film, downbeat story that gives many
questions to the audiences. A suffocating atmosphere. It's not a crime
flick but a pure drama. I repeat: depressing at the most, at a scale
you can't imagine. The audiences in the theatre around me were shocked.
The famous criminal lawyer Eric Dupond Moretti plays here a lawyer
character, of course !!!
