La Sentinelle

Mathias, 25 years old, a student in forensic medecine, decides to leave Germany to settle in Paris. On the train, he meets a man who threatens him and then disappears. The next day, he discovers a shrunken head in his suitcase. Frightened at first, Mathias is more and more obsessed with this human part. An imposing first feature film, between memory and genre movie, a mix of story and History. Arnaud Desplechin "the succession", as the Cahiers du cinema wrote at the time.
