Overview

Xavier Lombard is a world-weary private eye in London, in exile from his native Paris; his best friend is Nathalie, a high-class call girl. He gets a call from an old friend from the Paris police department, now a businessman whose brother-in-law is missing. The missing man's parents hire Xavier over their daughter's objections, and quickly he finds himself in the realm of children's sexual slavery.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A noir-inflected investigation into the darkest corners of organized crime that refuses to look away from its subject matter. Bleak and uncompromising, with the world-weariness of its protagonist soaked into every frame.
