Serpent’s Path

Kiyoshi Kurosawa brings his mature mastery to this coolly gripping remake of his own 1998 thriller SERPENT’S PATH, restaging the story in France. In the suburbs of Paris, Albert (Damien Bonnard), a freelance reporter, vows to avenge the brutal murder of his young daughter with the assistance of Sayoko (Ko Shibasaki), a Japanese doctor. With Sayoko’s guidance, Albert gets closer to the disturbing truth behind his daughter’s death. But what are Sayoko’s true intentions, and why does she prove to be so ruthless in helping Albert carry out his quest for vengeance?
