Arthur Molard’s ‘L’ombre et La Proie’ Takes Thriller Lovers for a Ride

In a world where nothing is as it seems, a gripping new film is set to challenge the limits of suspense and psychological tension.

Marrakech – Arthur Molard, the mastermind behind the acclaimed short film “Jiminy,” takes a bold leap into the world of feature films in his directing of “37: L’Ombre et La Proie.”

This psychological thriller traps viewers in a tense, nail-biting road movie where nothing is as it seems and every moment drips with suspense.

The story unfolds in a claustrophobic setting, as Vincent, a truck driver, picks up a mysterious hitchhiker, a young woman who goes by the name “37.”

What starts as an ordinary ride soon escalates into a web of intrigue as Vincent becomes increasingly unsettled by the strange behavior of his passenger. However, he too may not be who he claims to be.

This psychological thriller delves into the twisted dynamics between these two characters in a claustrophobic, unpredictable setting, leading to a shocking conclusion.

Guillaume Pottier delivers an outstanding performance as Vincent, an otherwise ordinary truck driver caught in a spiral of uncontrollable events.

Alongside him, Mélodie Simina shines as “37,” a young woman who is both vulnerable and unnervingly enigmatic.

Their superbly executed interactions intensify the oppressive, chilling atmosphere of the story, offering a perfect contrast between humanity and latent horror.

Beneath the guise of a horror thriller, Molard explores the challenging realities faced by truck drivers, painting a poignant and realistic picture of their daily struggles.

“This is my first feature film as a co-screenwriter, and I’m really proud of it,” shared Molard on Instagram.

This skillful blend of tension and social introspection adds unexpected depth to the film, drawing the audience into a narrative that is both terrifying and emotionally resonant.

Filming a thriller in the confined space of a truck is a challenge that Molard has brilliantly mastered.

Thanks to the immersive cinematography of Dino Berguglia and the haunting score by Andrea Boccadoro, this movie mesmerizes viewers with striking visuals and an atmospheric soundtrack.

Distributed by Film Event Consulting, “37: L’Ombre et La Proie” will hit Moroccan theaters on November 20, 2024.

With its expertly crafted narrative, nerve-racking ambiance, and remarkable performances, this thriller is set to captivate fans of high-stakes suspense and psychological storytelling.
