Synopsis

Serge is a middle-aged Parisian who knocks over and kills a man with his car late one night, and then speeds away. When the newspapers reveal his victim’s identity, Serge feels an irresistible urge to visit the suburb where the man lived. He finds the man’s daughter, and begins to follow her. By acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Limosin (“Young Yakuza”, “Novo”) and famous French film critic and director Alain Bergala.

Director

Jean-Pierre Limosin

Born in 1949 near Paris, Jean-Pierre Limosin meets at the end of the 70’s film critic for Cahiers du Cinéma Alain Bergala. They both manage a cultural centre photography and video workshop. In 1983 they direct together “Faux fuyants”, which premieres in Cannes’ Critics’ Week. At the beginning of the 90’s, after two other feture films, Limosin turns to television and documentary, taking part in the celebrated series “Cinéastes de notre temps” (Filmmakers of Our Time).
His travels to Japan inspired many of his latest productions. His brilliant “Tokyo Eyes” (1998) features filmmaker Takeshi Kitano in a small part.
