Synopsis
Grand Central (2013) is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Rebecca Zlotowski. Gary drifts between odd jobs until he's hired at a nuclear power plant.
Among the reactors he finally finds what he was missing — steady pay, a crew, a sense of belonging — and a forbidden pull toward Karole, the fiancée of a senior workmate. The closer the affair gets, the higher the radiation dose he absorbs on shift, until body and romance are poisoned at the same pace. Tahar Rahim and Léa Seydoux play the dangerous triangle, with Olivier Gourmet and Denis Ménochet alongside.
Zlotowski turns the industrial setting into a metaphor for desire: an invisible hazard, ticking counters, hazmat suits — and a craving just as impossible to shield against. The film screened in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes. Quiet, sensual work for anyone drawn to European auteur cinema. Stream Grand Central (2013) online on iFILM.
