I rarely promote French films because to me they look exactly the same. But this time, I recommend you "Ne le Dis à Personne" (Tell No One)


Here's a part of the synopsis from IMDB: "Eight years after his wife was brutally murdered, Alexandre Beck receives an e-mail with images of a woman who, although older, is obviously his wife."

This film has been directed by a young and promising French actor Guillaume Canet who played with Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Beach".

The leading role François Cluzet is one of the best actors we have in France.

Watch it, you won't regret it.

I saw this about a year ago. I loved it, great film.
I do recall someone on another thread saying they disliked it. Ho hum, for each their own.

That was me.

I personally found the characters to be pretty paper-thin (as well as their motivations), and didn't really find the mystery all that intriguing.

And the reveal at the end was waaay too Scooby-Doo for me.  :-)

Ah, indeed it was yourself Dressel. I humbly disagree with the characters being paper thin.
I have to concede the end went a bit hyper, 'twas a bit of a stretch perhaps. 'No meddling kids' though. Now, where's my scooby snacks? I'm gonna watch it again at the weekend, to see if my memory is being too kind.
