Persécution

Persécution is a 2009 French-German romantic drama directed by Patrice Chéreau, who co-wrote the screenplay with Anne-Louise Trividic. The film stars Romain Duris, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Jean-Hugues Anglade.

Running 99 minutes and filmed in French, the movie had its world premiere on 5 September 2009 at the 66th Venice International Film Festival, where it competed for the Golden Lion. It stands as one of the late-career works of the theatre-born director, carrying his characteristic dramatic intensity onto the screen.
