Athena (dir. Romain Gavras).
Viewers are immediately dropped into a Parisian seige of a protest action drama pitting three Muslim French-Algerian brothers against each other during a riot in the eponymous housing project that breaks out after the murder of the trio’s teen brother by the police. Filmed entirely in a series of continuous long-take shots, the visceral political tragedy heightens the film’s powderkeg of racial tensions before descending into an overextended set of rushed action sequences barrelling towards a neverending cycle of violence.

Athena
Athena [trailer]
Hours after the tragic death of their youngest brother in unexplained circumstances, three siblings have their lives thrown into chaos.
Very tense and thrilling right from the start. Utter chaos, shouting, violence. Traces of Greek tragedy. And it never stops.
Though while the anger and disillusionment is understandable, the approach feels a bit nihilistic. It raises the question, what for?
