Aroview: Convoluted yet propulsive French thriller about a man whose deceased wife contacts him eight years after her supposed murder, triggering a quest to unravel the unbelievable truth.

Though ultimately weighed down by too many characters for the narrative to comfortably bear, this is well acted, kinetic and slick, and especially recommended for pulp-fiends who like their plot thicker than character. Based on an English-language novel by Harlen Coben, and winner of four French Cesars, incl. Best Actor and Best Director.
