Claire Denis : 2013
Bastards
Supertanker captain Marco Silvestri is called back urgently to Paris. His sister Sandra is desperate – her husband has committed suicide, the family business has gone under, and her daughter Justine is spiralling downwards. Sandra holds powerful businessman Edouard Laporte responsible. Marco moves into the building where Laporte's mistress, Raphaëlle, lives with his son. What Marco hadn't foreseen are Sandra's shameful, secret manoeuvres – and his love for Raphaëlle which could ruin everything. A dark, moody and atmospheric thriller dealing with issues of sexual exploitation within family relationships and the victim's complicity in their victimisation. The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at Festival de Cannes 2013.
