MadS
NR | France | David Moreau | Français | 86 minutes
Eighteen year old Romain has just graduated and makes a stop at his dealer’s place to try a new pill. As he heads off to a party, he sees an injured woman on the side of the road and decides to help her, but when she gets in his car, she suddenly smashes her own head against the dashboard, bleeding out until she dies. Is this a bad trip? Or is it something else?One thing is for sure, it’s only the beginning of the night.
“‘MadS’ is a viciously enthralling thriller you don’t want to miss.” (Mashable)
“It feels different – firstly because of its immersiveness and secondly because of the quality of the performances, which are superb throughout.” (Eye For Film)
“The film has so much energy that its overall tone is fundamentally invigorating; this is the cinema of euphoric nihilism.” (Guardian)
“We’ve seen so many tales about the end of the world. We’ve never seen one quite like this.” (RogerEbert.com)
