‘The Origin of Evil’ (France)

Synopsis

RFS’s Summer film is the slow-burning and, at times, darkly comedic, French thriller, The Origin of Evil. A psychological thriller in the Claude Chabrol tradition, with hints of Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Rendell, we follow an outsider who becomes embroiled in a web of upper-class family politics and malice. When a financially distressed factory worker, Stéphane (Laure Calamy of Call My Agent!), gets in touch with wealthy Serge, announcing that she is his long-abandoned, illegitimate daughter, his immediate and highly avaricious family are none too pleased. Will she successfully prevail in a vipers’ nest of hostility, in which nothing is quite as it seems ?

A clever, humorous and highly entertaining French drama to bring the curtain down on Season 62.
