Vicky Krieps gives another riveting performance as Clarisse, a woman on the run from her family for reasons that aren't immediately clear. Widely renowned as one of France's great contemporary actors but less well-known in North America for his equally impressive work behind the camera, Mathieu Amalric's sixth feature as director is his most ambitious to date.
