The Intruder (L'intrus)

France 2005, 126 mins
Director: Claire Denis
Starring: Michel Subor, Gregoire Colin, Bambou

Claire Denis' (BEAU TRAVAIL, VENDREDI SOIR) film is an elliptical drama set in the South Pacific and a meditation on second chances and abandoned dreams.

A mysterious middle-aged loner (played by charismatic veteran Subor) requires a new heart - and his quest leads him from Geneva to Korea, and finally to Tahiti, where a kind of victory is achieved.

Or is it? Nothing in this film is quite as it seems in its dreamy shifts between past, present and (possible) future.

Influenced by Robert Louis Stevenson, F. W. Murnau and the paintings of Paul Gauguin, beautifully shot and scored, THE INTRUDER is one of the most complex, beguiling and fascinating films of Denis' extraordinary career.
