An ardent and sulphurous work by Jean-Claude Brisseau

Near a large complex, during the summer, a young girl is murdered. Professor Tessier, a biologist known for his research, abandons it to retire to the provinces. At his mother's bedside, he sees the promise to take care of his daughter Isabelle, paralyzed in the lower limbs. But the reunion between the father and the daughter is rough, Isabelle resenting the whole earth for her infirmity...

Jean-Claude Brisseau explores with originality the father figure when it is in danger. The filmmaker captures the violence of feelings and illuminates with sudden tenderness the ambiguous relationship between a father and his daughter. The realism of the situations, dry staging and crushing interpretation by Emmanuelle Debever and Bruno Cremer make Un jeu brutal a disturbing and haunting work, available for the 1st time on Blu-ray™ in its sublime 2K restoration!
