An intense performance by definitive Young French Cinema actor Vincent Macaigne anchors this powerful first feature by director Guillaume Brac. Vincent Macaigne plays a fading rock star who retreats to his home town of Tonnerre in the wintry Burgundy countryside. An affair with a pretty, much younger reporter (Solène Rigot) gives him a new appetite for life, but the story takes a dark turn when he suddenly and inexplicably stops hearing from her. Brac demonstrates a strong sense of place and a willingness to shift tones in this at times harrowing hybrid of romance and thriller. - Gene Siskel Film Center (Chicago)
