Mathieu (Romain Duris, DE BATTRE MON COEUR S'EST ARRÊTÉ) and Anna (Olga Kurylenko, QUANTUM OF SOLACE) are the parents of a girl (Fantine Harduin, HAPPY END) who suffers from a genetic disorder forcing her to live in a hermetic box that filters the air. This already vulnerable existence becomes even more precarious on the day Paris is hit by an earthquake, and then filled with a mysterious toxic gas that seems to come from below ground. Only those hiding on the higher floors and rooftops of buildings survive, but they are left stranded, without any resources. Wanting to check that their daughter remains safe in her "bubble", Mathieu and Anna will have to face the fog.
France/Canada coproduction DANS LA BRUME is a large-scale genre film, a full-fledged disaster movie taking place in a suddenly apocalyptic Paris. Looking for a North American touch, the French producers drafted Quebec filmmaker Daniel Roby, who proved worthy of helming major productions with such films as the critically acclaimed box-office smash LOUIS CYR and the ensemble drama FUNKYTOWN. His latest is as ambitious as it is effective, taking full advantage of the visual potential of all that deadly mist. With constant suspense and suffocating atmosphere, Roby also makes sure to always stay close to his characters, mainly the central couple that reconnects in the face of danger. Gather your courage and, most importantly, take a deep breath before heading into the fog! Kevin Laforest
