Out in cinemas on January 29, 2020, Les Traducteurs, directed by Régis Roinsard, is an intense thriller that immerses viewers in a complex and sophisticated plot. Featuring an international cast including Lambert Wilson, Olga Kurylenko, and Riccardo Scamarcio, the film follows the story of nine translators isolated in a luxury bunker to work on the latest volume in a best-selling literary series. But when the first pages of the novel are mysteriously leaked online, the atmosphere becomes increasingly oppressive. Available on Netflix on October 29, 2024, this paranoid huis clos will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last minute.
Nine translators from all over the world have gathered in a luxurious residence, completely cut off from the outside world, to work on the translation of one of the biggest bestsellers in world literature: the latest volume in a global saga. Under the direction of demanding editor Eric Angstrom(Lambert Wilson), everything is designed to ensure that nothing leaks out. Yet despite these precautions, the first ten pages of the manuscript appear online, and a hacker threatens to reveal the entire text unless a colossal ransom is paid. Suspicion grows among the translators, each one becoming a suspect in the eyes of the others. Locked in and trapped, the group gradually descends into mistrust, trying to identify the source of the leak before the situation spirals out of control.
Les Traducteurs will appeal to fans of psychological thrillers, fans of suspenseful stories and enthusiasts of films set behind closed doors, where the tension builds steadily. The film is particularly appealing to those who appreciate cerebral plots and manipulative games, in the image of films like Gone Girl or The Dirty Eight. With its claustrophobic atmosphere and omnipresent mystery, The Translators invites viewers to unravel a complex enigma where the truth lies behind deceptive appearances. The diversity of the characters, from different nationalities and cultures, adds a fascinating international dimension to this game of dupes, while exploring themes such as trust, betrayal and the pressures of the literary industry. This thriller also stands out for its original concept, which blends the world of publishing with suspense worthy of a crime novel.
Available on Netflix from October 29, 2024, Les Traducteurs is a captivating thriller that will delight fans of complex mysteries and intrigue behind closed doors. Directed by Régis Roinsard and supported by an impressive cast, the film maintains constant tension, playing on viewers' nerves while exploring the mechanisms of collective suspicion. Between power plays, lies and betrayals, Les Traducteurs is a must-see for all fans of high-octane thrillers.
