A FILM BY Mathieu Amalric
Mr. Amalric, who directed this dark, delectable, shivery tale, adapting it from the Georges Simenon novel, sets its uneasy, dank mood with energetic economy.
- Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue), takes a cue from both classic Hollywood noir and the time-shuffling narratives of the late Alain Resnais, telling a familiar story in ways that can feel compellingly new.
- Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
The subtle directionality of the compositions and the constant shifts from the present to the past, The Blue Room"" often feels like a work of cinematic futurism, not dissimilar to the films of Steven Soderbergh.""
- Scout Tafoya, Roger Ebert
La mise en scène d'Amalric puise dans cette construction sa force fantasmatique, qui fait de chaque plan une énigme à décoder.
- Cahiers du Cinéma
On est bluffé par la mise en scène impressionniste de Mathieu Amalric, son sens du cadre et du détail. Un film charnel, intriguant, saisissant.
- Le Journal de Dimanche
Synopsis
Two adulterous lovers go from pillow talk to possible murder in this sexy, brain-teasing thriller. Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Grand Budapest Hotel) directs and stars as Julien, a middle-aged salesman embroiled in a steamy love affair with a married woman who, after a round of kinky sex, makes a startling suggestion. Suddenly Julien is caught up in a police investigation-but just what exactly happened?
