Claire Denis returns with an intense and star-studded drama based on a stage play by Bernard-Marie Koltès, embracing the strict confines of theatrical form. The story is set in a remote construction site in West Africa. Behind tall fences and armed guards live the site manager Horn and the young engineer Cal. On the very night Horn’s new wife, Leone, is set to visit, a stranger appears outside the fence. His name is Alboury, and he has one request: to reclaim his deceased brother’s body. Over the course of a single night, themes of guilt, power, and colonial legacy are interwoven in a dark chamber drama.
Read moreMatt Dillon delivers a chilling performance as the cold and authoritarian Horn, while Isaach de Bankolé is formidable as the calm yet unyielding Alboury. Tom Blythe and Mia McKenna-Bruce also shine in this tightly acted and unsettling drama.
With films like Beau Travail (1999), Trouble Every Day (2001), and High Life (2018), Claire Denis has established herself as one of Europe’s leading filmmakers. With The Fence, she has created yet another captivating drama. The concise dialogue builds a tense atmosphere, where darkness and silence are as threatening as the people themselves.
