Early One Morning (De Bon Matin) Film Review
One of the highlights of the 23rd annual Alliance Francaise French Film Festival, which opens nationally from the 6th of March to the 9th of April.
Jean-Pierre Darroussin plays Paul, a successful bank executive whose life, as we see in the film’s quietly explosive and gruesome opening, has gone off the rails. Writer-director Jean-Marc Moutout creates a complex psychological drama, which shows Paul’s seemingly perfect life falling apart as he discovers the darker side of the financial world. An incredible journey into the disposable world of finance, and an even more incredible journey into the mind of one of its employees.
I give it 4.5 out of 5 kisses.
