Caja Negra

At least PARALLAX VIEW or ALL PRESIDENTS MEN have certainly inspired this kind of atmosphere, so rare in the French film industry. Or THE CONVERSATION, directed by Francis Coppola. This is a tremendous film, as LE CHANT DU LOUP was too; daring, powerfully directed, accurate, very well documented, a story about suspicion, plot, paranoia, conspiracy, disturbing by the way, but riveting. Excellent ending.

I am not surprised that this movie does not get the recognition it deserves. They don't make movies like this anymore. Nowadays, a movie like BLACK BOX may be considered as boring.

This modern perception does not change the fact that this is a good movie. A political drama-thriller that deserves a greater audience. It will not get it because the majority of the people are cynical and apathetic.

Still, there are a lot of people who will enjoy it. It is not one of the best movies in this genre, but that doesn't say much. It remains as a breathe of fresh air in modern movies industry.

I was very lucky to watch this movie during the French Film Festival in Perth, Australia.

Intense from the begining to the end with interesting twists. I did not see the time pass by. Plot was fascinating and also scary - Most people are afraid of plane crashes and is a delicate subject to treat which has been brilliantly handled in this movie.

Pierre Niney also performing really well in this role.

Great fresh piece of French cinema.

A solid and tense paranoid thriller like 'back in the day' with parallax view and 3 days of the condor.

Manages to remain gripping for most of its run time.

A successful French film that uses suspense, action and suspense very well. I watched with great curiosity and tension until the end, especially the voices and sounds heard from the black box and the silence following these noises made me very nervous. I didn't expect the movie to be that good.
