Ghost Trail: Jonathan Miller’s Thriller of Syrian Exile (Critics’ Week, Cannes Fest 2024)

CANNES FEST 2024

CRITICS’ WEEK

Revolving around a Syrian exile tracking down his former torturer in France, Jonathan Millet’s film is a work of visceral intensity and formidable control.

Millet has a shrewd grasp of the codes of a paranoid-thriller, and there’ refreshing preference for intimacy and clarity over stylistic or narrative fussiness.

The movie benefits from two fantastic actors: soulful lead Adam Bessa and Tawfeek Barhom as a villain whose humanity is chilling
