The Tower, last film by French director Guillaume Nicloux, released this Wednesday at the cinema. This fantastic social drama on canvas did not go unnoticed to Gérardmer where he was able to divide the audience. Radical, sometimes crude on form and especially on its epilogue, The Tower This is in line with these films where social rules are removed to better test our humanity in a confined space. It could be a train in Korean adaptation of comics Snowpiercer, a building for the icy The Platform or Battle Royale TV series Netflix successful Squid Games. The phrase dear to Hobbes, "Man is a wolf for Man " Never been so true! Find our enthusiastic verdict from the Vosges!
