When Claude loses his wife, he loses himself. Anger, grief, loneliness and guilt drive him to kidnapping the man who killed her, and holding him in his basement. He pushes away his friends and coworkers, who only want to help him.
Will Claude kill the man in the basement? Or will he find himself again? As the film slowly reveals both the secrets of Claude and the man in the basement, it becomes hard to tell the villain from the hero.
The movie isn't a horror movie or even a thriller. It's a delicate examination of the way getting to know someone else can change the human heart. And, in its own twisted way, it's a great antidote to our present political craziness.
The acting is superb, the script interesting and it makes me wish there were more Indy movies like it.
