Prénom: Mathieu

2018 · 60 min

A harrowing, slow-burn procedural that immerses you in trauma and memory with unflinching realism.

Overview: Seventeen-year-old Mathieu Reymond lies brutally battered and raped in a field of reeds. It is only after his release from hospital that the memories come back, unannounced and fragmentary, but still so precise that regular meetings with two police officers not only allow the perpetrator’s identikit image to take shape, but also the chronology of the crime itself.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, melancholic and tense. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Trauma, memory, justice, isolation
Content: Strong violence and sexual content. Mild gore and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
