The movie for February is:
Maldoror
Movie is in French, but the screeing on February 5th will have English subtitles!
Synopsis
Charleroi, 1995. The disturbing disappearance of two young girls upsets the population and causes an unprecedented media frenzy. Paul Chartier, an idealistic young police officer, joins the secret operation “Maldoror,” created to keep tabs on a repeat sex offender. When the police system fails, Paul decides to take matters into his own hands.
Commentary
Fabrice Du Welz (Calvaire, Alléluia) does not choose the sensationalist route in his film about the Dutroux case, but delivers a lurid crime thriller in which he dives deep into the troubled psyche of the young police officer (Anthony Bajon) who takes on the manhunt for the prime suspect. A chilling piece of genre cinema that dissects not only the darkness in people, but also the flaws in the bureaucratic system. An essential viewing experience for fans of the crime genre and for anyone who wants to see perhaps the darkest page in recent Belgian history illuminated from a new, unique angle.
