I will be clear; this movie atmosphere reminded me strongly other French features released before the COVID plague: DANS LA BRUME, LA NUIT A DEVORE LE MONDE, or even Xavier Gens' THE DIVIDE. I insist, not the plot, but the overall atmosphere. Guillaume Nicloux used us to weird tales but not this kind. As a novelist, he wrote disturbing stories too. This movie is so far one of my favourite from him. The suburb, ghetto towers settings can make it a social film and that's not so surprising. I was stuck, glued to this story, that is never boring. A social disturbing drama that analyses the human behavior between several kinds of communities, several kinds of people. I guess the COVID plague inspired this plot; and it was not the only example since 2021, after the movie shootings resumed.
