Tell No One
Directed by Guillaume Canet
Released July 2, 2008



This French gem, whose original title is “Ne le dis à personne,” is a fabulous thriller about a man is contacted by his wife, who was murdered eight years earlier. The story of a pediatrician who does his best to find her while simultaneously outrunning the people he thought killed her is an excellent thrill ride which doesn’t presume any extravagant martial arts knowledge or supernatural forces but instead relies on his desire to stay alive and to be reunited with the woman he loves. A top-notch cast including François Cluzet, Marie-Josée Croze, Kristin Scott Thomas, and André Dussolier help make this film feel infinitely more realistic than many other conspiracy thrillers and just as engaging. This is definitely one of the sleeker, cooler films to come out of France in recent years.
