Fracture
Depicting the psychological path he takes to commit the unthinkable : says Nicolas Sarkissian about the hero of FRACTURE, his first medium-length film. Or how a young father suddenly goes mad in the middle of a sunny afternoon… The young director, so far editor (Ils, Eden Log), confesses his admiration for Polanski and Antonioni. Not surprising when we see his striking thriller on incommunicability, impeccably mastered. Leading us to an extreme drama on being fed-up, or to the murderer side of family, FRACTURE is in perfect harmony with the three words which describe Cinema according to Nicolas Sarkissian: Rhythm, Tension, Upheaval.
