Directed by Tom McCarthy, best known for his Oscar-winning Spotlight, Stillwater is a dramatic thriller that casts Matt Damon as Bill, an Oklahoma oil driller whose life is turned upside down when he arrives in Marseille to help his daughter, played by Abigail Breslin, imprisoned for a murder she denies. The presence of Camille Cottin, a rising star in French cinema, adds a captivating dimension to this story of struggle against an alien legal system and the quest for justice.
Bill Baker, a rugged oil driller from Oklahoma, travels to Marseille to support his daughter Allison, wrongly accused of a crime and imprisoned in this foreign city. Faced with language and cultural barriers, as well as a complex legal system, Bill is determined to prove his daughter's innocence. In the process, he meets Virginie, played by Camille Cottin, and her daughter, with whom he forms a deep bond that helps him navigate his trials. This journey is not only a struggle for justice, but also a personal exploration and redefinition of his convictions.
Stillwater is aimed at adult audiences interested in dramatic thrillers that fuse narrative tension with emotional depth. The film stands out for its exploration of cultural differences and personal challenges through the prism of a gripping forensic investigation. Matt Damon's performance, combining physical strength and vulnerability, offers a nuanced perspective on the human condition in the face of adversity.
Stillwater, broadcast on M6 this Tuesday, April 23, 2024, is a film that skilfully marries suspense and personal drama through the story of a man fighting an alien system to save his daughter.
