Dir. Thomas Kruithof, Fr/Belgium, 2016, 89 mins, subtitled. Cast. Francois Cluzet
In a film that owes much to the classic political thrillers of the 1970s, François Cluzet stars as a recovering alcoholic working for a mysterious employer, typing up recorded conversations. He turns a blind eye to his new boss’s eccentricities and the possible illegal nature of his work as he transcribes a series of taped private telephone calls, but when one of them results in murder, Duval can no longer stay quiet, unaware that his mundane existence is about to be turned upside down. What unravels is a deadly conspiracy that leads all the way up to the upper echelons of French government.
