Tell No One

Currently there is little decent screening at your local cinema - unless you like the third slices of various franchises such as Ocean's, Shrek, Spidey or the Depp. However, if you want something different you could do a lot worse than seek out the French film Tell No One.

A husband's wife is murdered, but eight years later he receives messages from the grave (as it were) and so unravels a tight thriller and mystery. Well shot, and with a couple of things to say about corruption in French life and Parisian estates, it's a sort of a French cross between one of the Jason Bourne films and The Fugitive.

Enjoyable as a thriller, well acted - including Kristen Scott Thomas in a French speaking role which seems strange (she's often a upper class Englishwoman) but shouldn't as she has lived in France for several years - there is even the odd moment of comedy to lighten the mood. Overall a thriller, deep down I also found it heartbreakingly romantic.

Definitely worth a look in its own right - even more worth a look now given what else the cinema listings contain.
