Synopsis

After Claire Dennis’ L’intrus, Klotz’s La blessure is the second film inspired by Jean-Luc Nancy’s autobiographical book L’intrus.

MUBI's take

Probing the cruel treatment faced by African immigrants the minute they set foot in France, Nicolas Klotz’s revelatory drama is intimately informed by years-long research. Like the bodily wound at the heart of the plot, postcolonial displacement becomes the societal gash that can never be healed.
