Synopsis
The Unknown Girl (La Fille inconnue, 2016) is a Belgian-French drama from Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne — watch it online on iFILM. Adèle Haenel stars as Jenny, a GP in Liège, in a film that runs 106 minutes.
One evening Jenny ignores a buzzer at her clinic after hours. A young woman outside. Jenny doesn't answer. The next morning, police tell her that same woman was found dead nearby. The body has no name and no ID. Jenny starts visiting her patients one by one, showing them a CCTV still of the girl, asking if anyone knew her — not as an investigation exactly, but as something she can't stop herself from doing.
The Dardenne brothers work in their usual mode: no score, no melodrama, a handheld camera that stays close to Jenny's face and doesn't explain what she's feeling. What makes this one quietly uncomfortable is how ordinary the guilt is. She broke no law. She just didn't open a door. Stream The Unknown Girl (2016) online on iFILM.
