This audacious teenage terrorism thriller from acclaimed director Bertrand Bonello recalls Robert Bresson’s THE DEVIL, PROBABLY as much as it does George A. Romero’s DAWN OF THE DEAD. We first follow a group of tense, shifty adolescents as they prowl the streets and subways of Paris, learning through a series of mesmerizingly choreographed set pieces that they’re already well underway with a bombing plot. And then the film becomes something altogether different as these subversives tuck away inside a shopping mall and lose themselves in a consumerist wonderland of clothes, television, toys, and brilliantly deployed pop songs. Will they survive the unseen, encroaching authorities? And, as the walls close in, will they even survive each other?
