THE BLUE ROOM - Cannes 2014 press report
“Mathieu Amalric has simultaneously carved out a career as an accomplished filmmaker with a handful of features that are as idiosyncratic as they are intriguing”
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“Based on the Georges Simenon novel, this brilliantly controlled movie tracks a love affair gone wrong with wit, heat, cool and economy. Each edit is as sharp as the blade of a guillotine, and as unforgiving”
THE NEW YORK TIMES
“Cannes favourite - and former Bond villain - Mathieu Amalric follows the success of burlesque On Tour with a slightly anti-climatic adult crime drama based on a Georges Simenon book”
THE GUARDIAN
“Novel The Blue Room, which director-star Mathieu Amalric has made into a film that is splendidly taut, forcefully understated and, at just 76 minutes, blessedly concise. It earns admiration both for the mood it creates and for the melodramatic excesses it avoids”
