How it scared people
The vibe
A man wakes in a Paris flat to find the party over and the city gone. What follows is closer to a study of solitude than a zombie picture: Anders Danielsen Lie fortifies the building, plays drums until the noise brings them running, and holds long conversations with a placid Denis Lavant stuck behind an elevator gate. Sad, spare, excellent.
