Iris

Iris, young wife of a banker, disappears in Paris. Maybe a mechanic with many debts is involved in the strange affair. A really complicated job for the police.

French 🇫🇷 movie with a really good twists, not perfect but very enjoyable thriller with interesting storyline

First of all, what a tremendous soundtrack this movie has. They use the color and the photography in a masterful way, giving a sense of suspense and intrigue to the plot. The performances are excellent and the atmosphere of the film makes it interesting and sad at the same time. Do not come looking for brutal scenes of fights and many shots, you will not find them. In the same way, I consider that the movie touches the subject of fetishism in a subtle and elegant way, giving a certain sense of interest to the plot. More than anything, the film knows how to touch the existential crises through which human beings cross and that sometimes we can not decipher, yes; accompanied by a soundtrack that makes the film go from 6 stars to 8.

An extra something in form of twists, turnings, romances, sex, fantasies, criminal minds, greed, fraud every thing knitted perfectly keeping the entertainment fabric intact. Very beautiful heroine. Bankers wife is disappearing, kidnapped? framed? Who is framed? Guessing game director plays with us. Succeeds in the play Surprise elements keep you shocked through out the film. Though French Language Dialogues were appreciated by subtitles help only. The performing actors did splendidly convince every move conveyed without causing much confusion. One after another as we expect in a Romantic Thriller and Suspense Movie nicely done by balancing with Sex fantasies perversions bad manners using the criminality to create a new crime.

I won't go into all the holes in "In the Shadow of Iris," a French film from 2016. They are well covered in a preceding review.

Romain Duris stars as the beleaguered Max, who comes under suspicion when the wife of a businessman disappears, apparently kidnapped.

I won't say anything else about the plot. Have you seen it before? Yes, but others in the same ilk were nowhere near as confusing. The flashbacks seem way out of sequence. It all comes together in the end, though.

Charlotte LeBon is gorgeous with a figure to die for and we do see a lot of it. This movie is French, so there is sex, including S&M all over the place.

Most of the drama comes from Duris, and he's excellent. The rest of the cast is good: Jalil Lespert, Camille Cotin, Adele Bencherif, and Helene Barbry.

Strange and dark, it will remind you somewhat of Hitchcock. But he was easier to follow.

I think this is one of the worst Thriller Mystery movie i have watched recently. I waited for some twist which never came. Movie keeps on revealing every thing. I think director and writer of movie considered viewers to be very dumb and expected them to accept any thing. Please donot waste your time. Those who are expecting fair amount of skin show will also feel disappointed.
