This week- a pair of films about high emotional responses.
Paul and Nelly run a successful hotel, have a beautiful child, and live what appears to be an idyllic life together. Until Paul begins to have suspicions about Nelly's fidelity. Paul soon finds himself sinking into a quagmire of jealous fantasies and anger. Will Paul get the help he needs? Are his fears secretly justified? Will society at large ever stop being misogynistic asshats that enable cycles of abuse? Claude Charbol's take on a 30 year old unfinished film by Henri-Georges Clouzot- L'Enfer (aka Torment aka Hell).Oscar is on the run from home after a violent incident involving his best friend's father, he finds himself fallen in with a gang of child pickpockets. Oscar soon forms a deep bond with fellow preteen thief Peaches. 15 years later, Oscar finds himself running the gang and his childhood friend knocking at his door. Will Oscar be able to put his past to rest? Is there a future for any of them that doesn't include decades behind bars? How can someone sleep at night wasting this much on screen talent? Can Oscar really... Run with the Hunted.
