This poetic, metaphysical adventure follows Louis,
a 70-year-old recluse living near the French-Swiss
border, who is in need of a heart transplant. Louis
is haunted by a questionable past, always dreaming
of violence. With his new (physical and metaphorical)
heart, can Louis regain things long missing from his
life – his own peace and an estranged son? This hypnotic
film is considered Claire Denis’ most ambitious – taking
us through France, Switzerland, South Korea and Tahiti –
but most importantly, through Denis’ own subconscious
– forcing us to question our own notions of the heart.
