SILVER

aka PARIS MEMORIES
Virginie Efira (BENEDETTA, ELLE) gives a powerful and moving performance as a survivor of a mass shooting in a Paris restaurant. She suffers from an imperfect recollection of the events, made worse by an accusation by one of her fellow survivors that she committed an unforgiveable act of cowardice that night. Inspired by the November 2015 terrorist attack at the Bataclan nightclub, this fictionalized account from writer and director Alice Winocour (AUGUSTINE, DISORDER, co-writer of Deniz Gamze Ergüven's MUSTANG) examines the challenging road back to everyday life for survivors of such unthinkable acts of violence, as well as the fault lines where memory, trauma and emotion collide. Official Selection, 2022 Cannes and Toronto film festivals. DIR/SCR Alice Winocour; PROD Isabelle Madelaine, Emilie Tisné. France, 2022, color, 105 min. In French with English subtitles. NOT RATED
