AFTER THE RAIN
Andre Juillard
After the success of The Blue Notebook, Juillard is back with a story loosely linked. After an opening of an exhibition of Victor’s photography, a stranger, Abel, asks him urgently about a specific picture he took of a very close friend of his, Tristan with a beautiful woman at his arm that they both were after. Abel had lost track of him mysteriously months ago. He senses he might be in danger and, armed only with information about where the picture was taken, drops everything to go find him. He is soon thrust into a dangerous web of intrigue.
"The final violent sequences, with murders and an attempted rape, display Juillard's stunning visual skill. Elsewhere, he enhances his story with thugs straight from the film Diva and a splendid sequence worthy of Hitchcock---Abel witnesses a crime through binoculars."
