Disorder
Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2016
March 3 - 13, 2016
Alice Winocour’s follow-up to Augustine (Rendez-Vous 2013) is another finely tuned drama of unstable intimacy and mental imbalance—this time centered on a troubled war veteran (Matthias Schoenaerts) and the wealthy businessman’s wife (Diane Kruger) he’s hired to protect.
Alice Winocour’s follow-up to Augustine (Rendez-Vous 2013)—her study of the 19th-century neurologist Jean-Marie Charcot’s fraught relationship with one of his hysteria patients—is another finely tuned drama of unstable intimacy and mental imbalance. Having just returned from Afghanistan, Vincent (Matthias Schoenaerts) suffers from night terrors, pummeling headaches, and bouts of paranoia. To distract himself, he gets a job working security at the extravagant chateau of a Lebanese financier, whose beautiful wife (Diane Kruger) he’s soon hired to protect after the husband goes away on business. Disorder evolves from an exercise in nervous, slow-burn suspense into a tense domestic thriller. A Sundance Selects release.
