Cross Away
In this Gallic take on Steven Knight’s Locke (2013), the great Vincent Lindon is Joseph Cross, a construction foreman who, on the eve of a consequential job, must flee his worksite for obscure reasons and drive deep into the night, while struggling to keep his life from falling apart.
Q&A with Gilles Bourdos
Rounding out strong ensemble casts in this year’s Rendez-Vous selections The Quiet Son and The Second Act, the great Vincent Lindon is virtually the entire show in Cross Away. In this Gallic take on Steven Knight’s acclaimed 2013 drama Locke, Lindon is Joseph Cross, a construction foreman who supervises concrete pours. The night before a particularly big job, he’s compelled to leave the worksite in a hurry and set out, for obscure reasons, to an undisclosed destination. As Cross, driving deep into the night while struggling—one phone call at a time—to keep his life and work from falling apart, Lindon crafts a wholly original take on the character indelibly played by Tom Hardy in the original film, resulting in a riveting one-man show that starkly externalizes a long, dark night of the soul.
