Member weier78 Posted January 6, 2019 Member Share Posted January 6, 2019 Movie Review: In The Shadow of Iris (2016) Genre: Erotic Thriller Cast: Romain Duris, Jalil Lespert, Charlotte Le Bon Country: France ***Spoiler Alert*** I am not one to watch any outside the realms outside the stock and standard action genre, so here I went and watched the erotic thriller from France, In the Shadow of Iris. Antoine (played by Jalil Lespert), is a rich banker, and his wife, Iris, goes missing after having dinner {so we are made to believe}. Max (played by Romain Duris) is a poor ex-con mechanic who is the last person who saw Iris (well he thought it was Iris). As the film evolves with multiple flashblacks, we find Antione's mistress Claudia (played by Charlotte Le Bon) had killed Iris, when her and Iris fought after Iris followed her husband to Claudia's place, and Iris discovered her husband enjoying fetish sex of being tied up and getting beaten . And to cover up his mistress' murder, Antoine uses Max as an unknowing patsy. I didn't enjoy this film, I didn't care for any of the characters, they felt cold and lifeless. I am being generous and give the film 2.5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
