Six years later The ideal man, Yann Gozlan re-teamed with Pierre Niney for the benefit of an ultra-effective French thriller, which keeps the spectator in suspense from start to finish, despite certain improbabilities.
Bringing to the screen a screenplay he wrote in collaboration with Nicolas Bouvert-Levrard, for whom it is a first feature film as screenwriter, and Jérémie Guez (Earth and blood), Yann Gozlan offers from the start a kind of enigma that we will try to solve over a story that does not spare surprises.
Pierre Niney, one of the most versatile actors in French cinema, fits perfectly into the skin of Mathieu, a young investigator whose specialty is to analyze the information contained in the famous black boxes of planes, those where are recorded flight data and pilot conversations. This work reflects the personality of this being both meticulous and obsessive, almost paranoid, who also possesses an increased sense of listening. Without revealing any of the details of the story, let’s say that Mathieu will be forced to secretly carry out an investigation into a crash to go beyond the initial conclusions.
Thanks to a dynamic staging, establishing from the outset an often anxiety-provoking climate, Yann Gozlan takes us behind the scenes of the aeronautical world, which fascinates him, by submitting through this fictitious case a hypothesis to make the most irreducible shudder. travellers. You better buckle up.
