ANNA M

An unsettling psychological thriller about the obsession of unrequited love, Anna M features a powerhouse performance by the superb Isabelle Carré (Coeurs, In His Hands), who portrays a mixture of neurotic behaviour and cunning to chilly perfection.

After a failed suicide attempt, young Anna (Carré) becomes enamoured with her happily married surgeon (Gilbert Melki, Intimate Strangers) and begins a relentless and calculated pursuit of his affections, finding new and creepy ways of invading his mind, life and home...

The tension ratchets through small details; madness in movies is rarely this creepy, or entertaining. Comparisons to Fatal Attraction don't do this superbly crafted and thought-provoking thriller justice.
