This is a wonderful, odd French turn on Hawthorne's short story WAKEFIELD in which a man flees his seemingly successful like in order to re-invent himself. Bonus: any film w/ Catherine Deneuve is worth a visit.

The Big Picture is really Duris's picture; the actor toggles effortlessly between arrogant, feral, remorseful and ruthless as the plot throws one curveball after the next. Full Review

A few plot holes hold back what is otherwise a well cast and compelling picture. Full Review

Much of the plot stretches credulity, but the way it's constructed keeps tension high. Full Review
