<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n| 2017 – 93′ – Drama, Spy,\u00a0Thriller. Cleverly evoking the era of analogue espionage while referencing political events in France, this slow burning thriller takes a man wallowing on the outskirts of society and plunges him deep into the murky heart of power politics, high intrigue, and murder. Fran\u00e7ois Cluzet plays Duval, former accountant, former alcoholic, current burnout with no job prospects. Desperate to get his life back on track, he accepts an unusual offer of employment. Everyday he is to come to a non-descript room, where he will transcribe cassette tapes of intercepted phone calls using an old typewriter. His mysterious employer Cl\u00e9ment explains that this ensures that there will be no chance for the material to be digitally compromised. Most of the work is dehumanizing drudgery, but when the tapes reveal something Duval knows he shouldn\u2019t know, he suddenly understands why he has been sworn to secrecy. It\u2019s clear he\u2019s a cog in someone\u2019s machinations, but whose? As the walls begin to close in, Duval\u2019s own paranoia is the only thing of which he can be certain.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n THE EAVESDROPPER | 2017 – 93′ – Drama, Spy,\u00a0Thriller.
