Synopsis
The Clearstream Affair (L'Enquête, 2015) is a French political thriller by Vincent Garenq you can watch online on iFILM. Gilles Lellouche stars as journalist Denis Robert, who pulls one loose thread out of a Luxembourg clearing house and watches a continent come apart.
Robert keeps digging into Clearstream's hidden accounts and finds money moving in the billions, well clear of any tax authority's eyes. Judge Renaud Van Ruymbeke (Charles Berling) takes up the trail from the legal side, and together they hit walls built by bankers, politicians and lawyers at the same time. Every step closer to proof costs Robert something real — his marriage, his name, his safety.
Garenq skips the action beats for something quieter: the grind of one stubborn man against a machine that never blinks. Adapted from Robert's own books and the actual Clearstream scandal that rattled France through the 2000s, it rewards patience. If Spotlight and slow paper-trail thrillers are your thing, this one lands. Stream The Clearstream Affair (2015) online on iFILM.
