AN ESPIONAGE thriller is the next film on the big screen at the Little French Cinema.
‘Kompromat’ will be shown on Thursday, September 4 at 7pm in the Performance Space at Oldham Library.
Directed and co-written by Jérôme Salle and starring Gilles Lellouche, it is the true story of Mathieu, a gregarious and dedicated diplomat, based in Irkutsk.
He is falsely accused of a serious crime by the Russian authorities and imprisoned, completely isolated and unable to prove his innocence. The only solution is to escape.
Salle, who co-wrote the film with Caryl Férey, opens the proceedings with a helpful definition for the uninitiated — “documents used to destroy someone’s reputation” — as well as important context: “Kompromat” is based on a true story, though the principals are unnamed.”
