Our take

In her overlooked sophomore feature, Claire Denis fearlessly explores émigré life in Paris, working for the first time with frequent collaborator Alex Descas. A contemporary noir, No Fear, No Die also draws direct inspiration from the writing of Martiniquan postcolonial theorist Frantz Fanon.
