NE LE DIS A PERSONNE - TELL NO ONE
November 5th 2007 04:38
This film, Ne le dis à personne (Tell no-one) instantly appeals to me. I hadn’t heard of it before reading a synopsis about it on the weekend, so it led me to do some research on it. I liked what I read, then decided to write a post on it.
Occasionally, I like a good thriller, especially if it is French, so I have decided this is the next one for me. The alluring blend of thriller and Frenchness (yes, that isn't actually a word-not yet anyway) appeals.
Its basic premise is that Dr Alexandre Beck (Cluzet) is still grieving for his wife Margot (Marie-José Croze) who was murdered by a serial killer eight years, just days after their marriage. He receives an anonymous email that reveals a woman's face standing alone in a crowd. He recognises it as Margot's face. Hence, the mystery begins. Is she still alive? How? Where is she? And why does the email instruct Alex to 'Tell No One'?
Next, two bodies are found where Margot was murdered, and the police empathetically assume Beck is involved. They do not give up on this suspicion. Eventually, Beck has no choice but to go on the run while trying to find out what is happening and whether his precious wife is actually still alive.
Ne le dis à personne is based on Harlan Coben's bestselling novel and has reported as being a phenomenon at the French box office. Apparently, director Guillaume Canet's adaptation of the book is a brisk blend of Hollywood thrills and French cinematic style with big intersecting appeal.
The more I read, the more I’m interested. I particularly enjoy off-beat French films with a thriller element. I’m intrigued....

That's great you like French films too. Glad you liked this find.
That's great that your two children are bi-lingual. My mum is Mauritian so I understand it quite well, but am not that great at speaking it.
