The Intruder

French writer and director Claire Denis's most poetic and enigmatic film about second chances and lost connections that comes with intrusions of several kinds from physical and heart transplants to cultural and psychological. Veteran actor Michel Subor stars as an old man with heart problems who's forced to come out of isolation in the wilderness in order to find a heart transplant and locating a son he abandoned. Beautiful images in exotic settings from the cold to the tropical make for a haunting journey across the world. Among the cast, there are several of Denis' regular actors including Grégoire Colin.
