Good acting, pretty faces, predictable tale with WWII roots

I do not know anything about Director Charlotte Brändström's work but from DE SANG ET D'ENCRE one can tell that she pays attention to detail. Cinematography by Pascal Gennesseaux is top drawer, restrained acting by the exceptionally good looking couple of Florence Pernell, as publishing house owner, and Stéphane Freiss as police captain Marc Simon, deserves praise, and the script by Lorraine Lévy is the only element that disagrees with the quality evident in the rest of this opus: it suffers from excessive predictability, and the gimmick of lumping in Jewish concentration camp survivors more than 60 years after the end of WWII just seems too pat, too used, too contrived.

Anyway, it warrants a watch but certainly nothing too involved or that anyone would remember a week later. 6/10.
