A disturbing French film where the cinematic approach plays with detachment and self-reflection. Adapted from a thriller by Marc Behm, Mortelle randonnée takes us on a journey following human characters marked by desperate fates. With a tone of refined comedy and touches of dark humor, Miller’s film delves into the French polar genre, yet transcends it with an unconventional perspective, embodied in the voice-over narration by the ever-intriguing Michel Serrault.
With its fascinating and unsettling psychological depth, Mortelle randonnée disorients the viewer. The characters’ psychology is pushed to the extreme, giving the director of Garde à vue an incredible sense of the fantastical. Miller’s masterful direction enhances this with Isabelle Adjani’s compelling performance as a cold, ruthless, and unrelenting assassin, embodying the essence of a true praying mantis. The film constantly flirts with fantasy and detective elements, culminating in a deeply moving ending. A remarkable French road movie that shines with boldness and audacity.
