With Noée Abita, Anders Danielsen Lie
With this first feature, writer/director Musiedlak constructs a thrillingly tangled web of ethical dilemmas and necessary lies, all held together by the glue of eroticism and the dark lure of the forbidden. Nora, a newly minted lawyer straight out of law school, is assigned to defend a 19-year-old accused of kidnapping and murder. Running interference with the brutally aggressive cop who is handling the interrogation, she soon finds herself as frighteningly stranded in unknown territory as the boy she is representing. Nora’s vulnerability leaves her wide open to the bold sexual advances of her nemesis, who sees her inexperience as his advantage. In French with English subtitles.
“There’s never a dull moment, and certainly no easy answers in this stunning first feature.”—Meredith Taylor, Filmuforia
