The Town Is Quiet
Drama
A dark tale of working-class life in Marseilles, a city in crisis. Interesting characters include a hard-bitten but compassionate fish market worker with a drug addicted daughter and a moody bartender with a shocking secret life.
VIBE
This film feels like a long, smoky exhale. It's a raw, unflinching look at lives lived on the margins, steeped in the salt-laced air of a struggling port city. Expect quiet desperation and moments of unexpected tenderness.
