When a drug deal goes wrong, young lovers, Lisa and Simon, are forced to go their separate ways, only to cross paths again years later. That’s when the plot thickens… Actor-turned-director Nicole Garcia delivers a good old-fashioned film noir, complete with doomed lovers, murder, lust, deceit, a deadly romantic triangle, and even a wink at Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing. The lushly elegant film moves from Paris to the isle of Mauritius to Geneva, and is deftly brought to life by a superb trio of actors — a guilt-ridden Pierre Niney, femme fatale Stacy Martin, and a particularly sinister Benoît Magimel.
