In 19th-century Lisbon, a young boy named Joao begins to unravel the mystery of his parentage, setting off a sweeping tale of hidden identities, ancient secrets, and fateful encounters. Over three decades and across multiple countries, a web of interconnected lives slowly reveals its full design.

A puzzlebox neo-noir, this erotic thriller from Mathieu Amalric is one where the French actor’s filmmaking is every bit as enthralling as his performance. We hand you the keys to The Blue Room, a spiral of passion, secrets & murder brilliantly adapted to the screen from Simenon’s eponymous novel.
