The Snake
A ruthless gang led by private detective Joseph Plender is extorting rich people and famous fashion photographer Vincent Mandel seems the next victim. He is married to Hélène, daughter of one of the richest people in Europe, but not quite happily. In fact the marriage is on the brink of a divorce and a judge is deciding who will take the two children. Can Hélène take them to Germany or will they stay with Vincent? Vincent has a lot on his mind and he improvises when model Sofia Kippiani comes to his studio, but his makeup crew doesn't show up. Before he knows it, he is accused of a rape. Things go worse and worse for Vincent, he sees his entire life slipping away and, most importantly, he might lose his children. But why does his former schoolmate Joseph Plender seek contact with Vincent and even solve a nasty problem for him? Does Plender want something more than money?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director builds tension economically — doesn't waste it, holds it in reserve. The film pins you to your seat methodically, without rushing.
Sustains tension exactly as long as needed. May dip slightly after — but the overall level is good.
For viewers who appreciate intelligent genre work without dumbing down.
Director: Eric Barbier
