Charlotte Gainsbourg fair picks the movies that have that crazy mucked up relationships as recently seen in Lars Von Trier's Antichrist and now she is in the thick of it in Persecution.
This movie is the latest offering from French director Patrice Chéreau who is known for his 1990's movie La reine Margot (Queen Margot) which which shown him in the limelight despite the inaccuracies in the history/facts of the movie.
Charlotte Gainsbourg plays a woman called Sonia in a love/hate relationship with Daniel played by Romain Duris and out of the blue a mysterious man (Jean-Hugues Anglade)
turns up at Daniels home. Suddenly Sonia splits with Daniel and fingers pointat Sonia as if the man's arrival was a ploy of hers but long after she's gone the man still harrasses Daniel. Questions are now asked who this man is and why he's really here?
Watch the trailer below and you'll see it's not going to be about a failed relationship but more a dangerous and mysterious game.The movie was shown last month at the London Film Festival but I dont have info of an release in the indie/arthouse cinemas in Uk or Ireland, though December 9th it will get a cinematical release in France.
The solitary Daniel and Sonia share an uneasy love/hate relationship. Daniel's life is disrupted by the appearance of a stranger that proceeds to insinuate himself in his life. The man's persistence takes its toll on Daniel and Sonia, leaving Daniel alone with nagging questions of "Why?"- IMDB
