Fabrice Gobert is a specialist in anxiety-provoking atmospheres. His passage on the small screen with his series "Les revenants" testifies to his ease in creating oppressive atmospheres. For the release of his feature film K.O, the director does not change his good habits as you can see with this trailer.
A thriller carried by an intriguing Laurent Laffite
The general public is used to seeing the lead actor in comedies such as Papa or Maman and on the other side of the Periphery. He changes register here by embodying an unpleasant businessman who after a dramatic incident finds himself in an alternate reality that has many differences with his daily life.
An attractive plot that is also well served by its cast composed of talents of French cinema such as Zita Hanrot (Caesarized for Fatima), Clotilde Hesme (new collaboration with the director since she was in The Revenants), Chiara Mastroianni and Pio Marmaï (In the next Klapisch).
Ko develops several topics
The director wanted to develop several themes with this film. An uncompromising dive into the world of work where violence in relationships between colleagues, contempt and lack of empathy all too often characterize the daily life of these companies.
It will be one of the first thrillers of the summer since it will be in theaters on June 21, 2017.
