Emily star in the Hitchcock thriller in Paris? This is a reaction to Netflix!

Between Emily’s two seasons in Paris, Lily Collins left the fashion capital with her luxurious outfits and her tortured lovers for a completely different atmosphere. On the poster for the Dark Thriller Backlash on Netflix, the actor shares a poster of Jason Segel (the unforgettable Marshall from How I Met Your Mother) and Jesse Plemons, who we just saw in Dog Power.

Filled in full quarantine during the pandemic, Backlash is a film noir written by Justin Leder and Andrew Kevin Walker and directed by Charlie McDowell (The Discovery, The One I Love, Tales From The Loop), a companion in Lily Collins. Made and prepared with friends, this special feature film, inserted in the heart by the team, is in the satin pages of a Hitchcockian film.

Jesse Plemons plays a billionaire and big business owner, and Lily Collins plays his charitable wife. The wealthy couple thinks they are on a peaceful vacation to a second home, but this happened without the intrusion of a thief by Jason Segel, who was unfortunately noticed by two girlfriends before he managed to escape.

A clumsy, clumsy, tired and lost thief in the corner will take the couple captive at home and blackmail them into extracting large sums of money. Who is he ? ᲡWhere is he from? What does he really want? Why did he break into a particular house? There are so many questions that spouses ask themselves throughout their disordered sequestration.

Through lengthy discussions, reversals, surprise visits, and heavy silence, Contrecoups takes the time to go through its characters and gradually reveal their true personalities and hidden intentions. Between the shock of social class and gender power relations, it divides topical issues behind closed doors with relevance and lightness, thanks to a touch of humor permeated here and there.

Despite some setbacks, Contrecoups is seduced primarily by the excellent acting of its trio of actors, its stifling atmosphere, its clever staging, and its twists and turns that raise questions and theories, but which fits perfectly with the film’s original French title, “Windfall.”
