Documentarian Jonathan Millet makes his fiction debut with this electrifying revenge thriller. Featuring a tightly wound lead in Adam Bessa, who plays a Syrian exile on the hunt for his prison torturer, Ghost Trail hitches the refugee drama to the spy movie for a riveting game of cat and mouse.

The constrictive comforts of middle-class Parisian life give way to new vistas and extraordinary chance encounters in Jérôme Reybaud’s pastoral travelogue of queer ennui. Blending the everyday with the idiosyncratic, this charmingly existential film finds both chaos and catharsis on the open road.
