L'intrus
Claire Denis / FR, 2004 / 130 min.
This rich, secretive film by Claire Denis is a hypnotic sensory experience. L'intrus jumps through time and continents – from the wilderness of the Alps and the neon lights of Korea to tropical Tahiti, drenched in languid melancholy.
L’intrus is a highly layered film, in which dream and reality interweave, featuring opulent CinemaScope footage by Denis’ regular camerawoman, Agnès Godard. The film tells the story of reclusive Louis Trebor (Michel Subor), an elderly heart patient with a dark past. Hoping to postpone the inevitable, Trebor scours the black market for a new, young heart. Along the way, he also hopes to encounter the son he believes he has lost.
