Ce qu'ils imaginent

About This Movie

Ce qu'ils imaginent is a haunting exploration of isolation and consequence. The film opens with a shocking moment—Bernard's death by choking on a boiled egg, and it sets a chilling tone. Juliette's decision to walk away, leaving everything behind, creates this eerie atmosphere of escape and self-discovery. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to ponder her motivations and the weight of her inaction. The performances are raw; the tension is palpable, especially in those quiet moments. It’s distinctive in how it captures a moment that spirals into existential reflection, almost like a meditative piece on grief and the choices we make—or don’t make. There’s something quite unsettling yet engrossing about it.
