Two outcasts are drawn together by crime and passion in this 2001 tour de force from director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet).
Carla (Emmanuelle Devos, who won a César Award for her performance) is an unappreciated, hard-of-hearing employee at a nondescript construction company. Her lonely life gets a jolt of excitement when she hires a new assistant: Paul (Vincent Cassel, Mesrine: Public Enemy #), an ex-con who soon enlists her (and her lip-reading ability) in a risky scheme.
With visceral camera work and sound design, Audiard immerses viewers in the duo’s increasingly turbulent world, blending noir conventions with complex character development for a thriller of unique depth and emotion.
Criterion’s director-approved Blu-ray special edition of the romantic crime-drama contains the following features:
- New 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Jacques Audiard and director of photography Mathieu Vadepied, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack
