ストーリー
After being invited to dinner by Fred Astaire fan Clement (Jean Rochefort), comic-book artist Luc (Guillaume Canet) arrives at his home expecting a pleasant evening. However, he discovers that Clement's wife Violette is actually a life-size plastic doll. When Luc tries to leave, Clement knocks him unconscious. Upon waking, Luc finds himself handcuffed to the bathroom sink and gagged. Clement, who is obsessed with Luc as he sees him as his only friend, subjects him to various cruelties while seeking guidance from both Astaire's ghost and Violette's doll. Throughout this ordeal, music plays a significant role, ranging from haunting melodies to tap dancing and full musical production numbers.
概要
Barracuda is a French-German-Belgian thriller directed by Philippe Haïm, known for his work as a composer-arranger-orchestrator. This film draws inspiration from thrillers like Misery (1990) and The Collector (1965). It tells the story of Luc, a young man kidnapped by an elderly, mentally unstable neighbor named Clement, who keeps him captive to serve as his 'friend.' The film is notable for its unique blend of horror, drama, and musical elements, creating a tense atmosphere filled with suspense and surrealism. Despite being directed by Haïm in his feature debut, the film has not gained widespread recognition.
