“An aesthetic shock — a film of pure direction, sharp as a blade.”
—Telerama
“A rare talent … absolutely impressive rigor.”
—Les inrockuptibles
A real arthouse slasher: a cinema devotee spends his life inside a soon-to-be-shuttered theater, projecting beautiful prints that no one comes to see, leaving only to create his own gruesome works of art. After the last reel comes the last breath. Like PEEPING TOM as directed by Paul Vecchiali or CINEMA PARADISO by way of Argento, Laurent Achard’s film is a blood-curdling ode to the silver screen.
