Plot

Following the assassination of President Marc Jarry, a member of the investigation committee refuses to sign off on the committee's final findings.

Sinekatalog’s take

A taut political thriller in which a lone official picks apart an official version of a presidential assassination. It is methodical, tense and disquietingly modern in its distrust of institutions. Recommended for fans of conspiracy cinema built on logic rather than action.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
