Dheepan (2015)
Country: FR
Technical: col/2.35:1 115m
Director: Jacques Audiard
Cast: Jesuthasan Antonythasan, Kalieaswari Srinivasan, Vincent Rottiers
Synopsis:
A Tamil refugee from civil war in Sri Lanka arrives in France with assumed wife and child and gets a job as caretaker at a residential block outside Paris. However, the antics of the drug gangs that rule the estate gradually impinge on his sense of equilibrium and awaken buried trauma that erupts into violence.
Review:
Another minutely observed portrait of a tortured soul from this director, with up-close cinematography and stand-back sentiment perfectly balanced until the roseate epilogue startlingly subtracts from the overall impact.
