Serpent's Path

Serpent's Path (2024) is a French-language crime thriller from Kiyoshi Kurosawa you can watch online on iFILM. A grieving father whose daughter was murdered joins forces with a coolly composed psychiatrist. Together they abduct members of a shadowy organisation they hold responsible for the girl's death.

To force a confession, the pair resort to brutal methods, and the longer the interrogation drags on, the harder it gets to tell captor from captive. Kurosawa reworks his own 1998 thriller of the same name, relocating the story to France and shooting almost entirely in French. Damien Bonnard plays the vengeful father, Ko Shibasaki the calculating doctor, with Mathieu Amalric in support. It is cold, methodical and genuinely unforgiving — built for anyone who likes their suspense slow and pitiless. Stream Serpent's Path (2024) online on iFILM.
