Watch UK Trailer For French Thriller La Syndicaliste Starring Isabelle Huppert

Modern Films have sent us the official UK Trailer for political thriller La Syndicaliste, starring Isabelle Huppert heading to UK Cinemas next month.

The film is directed by Jean-Paul Salomé (Arsène Lupin, Mamma Weed) who took his inspiration from reading the book ‘La Syndicaliste’ written by investigative journalist Caroline Michel-Aguirre. The gripping thriller is based on the true story of Maureen Kearney, a trade union organiser in the French nuclear industry who became both a victim and suspect in a shocking scandal.

I unfortunately missed the film at Glasgow Film Festival due to scheduling. Speaking to those who did catch the film praised Huppert’s performance, we expect nothing less from the veteran French actress…

Maureen Kearney (Isabelle Huppert) was the head union representative of a French multinational nuclear powerhouse.  She became a whistleblower, denouncing top-secret deals that shook the French nuclear sector.  Alone against the world, she fought government ministers and industry leaders tooth and nail to bring the scandal to light and to defend more than 50,000 jobs.  Her life was turned upside down when she was violently assaulted in her own home. The investigation was carried out under pressure: the subject was sensitive. Suddenly, new elements created doubt in the minds of the investigators, and at first a victim, Maureen became a suspect.

The film also stars Grégory Gadebois, Marina Fois, Yvan Attal, and Pierre Deladonchamps. La Syndicaliste  will be released in UK and Irish cinemas from 30th June.
