Jérôme Salle, Russian trap

Jerome Salle Russian trap

Filmmaker Jérôme Salle returns to the screens with a breathtaking thriller by Caryl Ferey. A breathtakingly suspenseful film starring Gilles Lellouche, who plays a French expatriate caught up in a plot led by the Russian FSB.

Six years later The Odyssey », his film on the Cousteau family, and nine years later « Zulu “, the director of” Wide Winch reunites with Caryl Ferey for a heart-pounding thriller storyline set in the heart of Russia. A life that changes, a descent into hell, an escape and a breathless hunt: that of a man, Mathieu Roussel, victim of a “Kompromat”, an accusation fabricated from scratch by the FSB, the Russian secret services, in base of compromising false documents, intended to eliminate.

A ruthless practice, often used by the KGB against foreign representatives during the Cold War era, which in recent years has most often targeted Russian political opponents themselves. In the film, it is a Frenchman, played by Gilles Lellouche, who is the victim. And the story is freely inspired by a real event.

Kompromat », the new film by Jerome Hallwill be released next Wednesday on French screens.
