The premise
With a heavy haul of 250 kilograms of gold bullion, the grizzled criminal mastermind, Rhino, and his ruthless gang of cutthroats, head to a ramshackle retreat somewhere in the Mediterranean to lay low on a scorching day of July. However, the unexpected and rather unwelcome arrival of the bohemian writer, Bernier, his muse, Luce, along with a pair of no-joke gendarmes further complicates things, as the frail allegiances will soon be put to the test.
Horror Vault's take
A gold heist gone sideways traps a ruthless criminal gang, a bohemian artist, and a pair of unsuspecting gendarmes together at a crumbling Mediterranean hideout under a merciless July sun. Directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani push crime-thriller territory into something far stranger, drenching every frame in sensory overload — lurid color, fractured editing, and operatic violence. Alliances among the desperate, dangerous ensemble are paper-thin, and the isolated cliffside setting becomes a pressure cooker where loyalty is a luxury nobody can afford. Expect a film that operates more as a fever dream than a conventional narrative.
