Paris by Night

About This Movie

David Hare's 'Paris by Night' is such an intriguing blend of drama and thriller, really. The film pulls you into Clara Bell's hectic life as a Euro MP, which is already pretty intense, but then tosses in a murder that just spirals everything out of control. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for those moments of reflection amidst the chaos, and the atmosphere of Paris adds this palpable tension. Performances are solid, especially from the lead; you can feel her internal struggle. There's this underlying theme about the fragility of order in life that resonates well. The practical effects are subtle, grounding the film in its realistic approach. It’s definitely an engaging watch for those who appreciate layered storytelling.

A nuanced take on political life. · Richly atmospheric with a unique Parisian backdrop. · Strong themes of chaos vs order.
