Bastards

Country: France
Director: Claire Denis

From one of the most-acclaimed filmmakers in contemporary cinema, Claire Denis (Beau Travail, White Material) brings her considerable skill to this story of murder and revenge with many twists and turns. Full of striking imagery, right from its first shots of a young woman walking, naked, through the dim streets of Paris. It’s not long before we are locked in a labyrinthine plot of family and business, betrayal and vengeance. Fresh from Toronto, it’s a dazzling, modern film noir. (2013; 100 min)
