Based on popular American mystery writer Harlan Coben’s
international best-seller (6 million copies sold in 27 different
languages), this gripping and intricate French thriller follows
pediatrician Alex Beck. He is still grieving for his beloved wife
Margot who was murdered 8 years earlier. To make the situation

When two different bodies are dug up, along with the key to a

Danuta Szaflarska anchors this stunning cinematic sonnet
about the everyday existence and vivid memories of an
enchanting elderly woman. Aniela lives with her best friend,
Philo, an unusually expressive Border Collie, in a magnificent
but rundown mansion. Filled with dusty furniture and glowing
reminiscences, the home’s dilapidated state contrasts with the
lively spiritual energy around every corner. Alone and alert,

“Tell no one.” It’s not long before Alex, in the great tradition of
Hitchcock’s heroes, faces the exhausting dilemma of pursuing
a solution while being vigorously pursued by the law. Director
Guillaume Canet has assembled a spectacular cast of A-list
French talent who are perfect in carrying out the twist and turns
of the story. Tell No One effortlessly works as a stylish, complex
film, driven by characters that can appeal equally to the John
Grisham crowd and the art-house audience.
