Prepare for a wild ride in this taut, stylish and brutal French language update on the 1969 cult classic The Honeymoon Killers. By way of online dating, Gloria (expertly played by Spanish actress Lola Duenas) meets the ineffably charming Michel, a wry and callous con man praying on women’s desires and insecurities. Yet he meets his demented match in Gloria, whose obsessive desire knows no bounds. Director Fabrice Du Welz casts a perfect balance between gritty ambience, psychological study and unconventional flare, including a surprising musical number.
