An anonymous hacker spends his time watching images from public security cameras and private webcams. He will use his skills to track the culprits of a terrorist attack in a train station of Paris and will become more and more involved.
There are around half a million security cameras in France, a huge surveillance system that could be dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands… When a hacker finds a way to access this system he witnesses a terrorist attack on the Gare d'Austerlitz, an attack that results in the deaths of several people ahead of the French presidential election. The police are convinced that an Islamist terror group is behind the bombing but the hacker has evidence that proves the contrary. Using the network of cameras that he has at his disposal, he follows the real bombers across the city and discovers that the attack on the train station is part of a much bigger campaign…
Breathless, innovative, intelligent… this is an extraordinary movie. To be seen at all costs! I remember when everybody applauded when the Nouvelle Vague freed the images, back in the 60s -well, this is the new Nouvelle Vague. This is not the triumph of the director, or the cameraman's, but of the editor. And still, this is not a boring "experimental" movie, but a sizzling political thriller which doesn't need spectacular stunts to keep you riveted to your seat. The actors are not well known, and to say the truth the acting does not matter much -it certainly matters less than the eyes of the voyeur/ organizer. Until the last seconds, the omnipresent "hero" is faceless. Welcome into the world of anonymous power!
