Protector, oppressor

Partisan (2015)

Directed by Ariel Kleiman this film stars Vincent Cassel, Jeremy Chabriel and Florence Mezzara. A man takes in single mothers, helping them raise their children in a community isolated from society and in return uses the children as assassins.

There is a lot to enjoy here in this slow burning film which goes from a seemingly nice gesture of taking in those with no where to go to worryingly disturbing. The plot could easily reflect the rise of many a dictatorship from either end of the political spectrum. I really liked the score which gave the film a very moody atmosphere.


4/5
