Synopsis
La fille du RER (2009), released internationally as The Girl on the Train, is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by André Téchiné, it follows Jeanne — Émilie Dequenne — a young woman drifting through Paris with no job and no clear direction. Her mother arranges a meeting with a lawyer she once knew (Michel Blanc), while Catherine Deneuve orbits the story as a figure from an earlier generation.
Jeanne gets involved with Franck, a wrestler whose promises collapse quickly. When he is arrested and turns on her, she invents a story: an antisemitic attack on a suburban train. The lie grows. Téchiné drew the scenario from a real 2004 incident in France — a fabricated attack on the RER D line that shocked the country not for any violence but for what the hoax revealed about identity, victimhood and the media that amplified it.
