A film byiRobert Guediguian
The Town Is Quiet exposes a complex mosaic of intersecting characters and subplots reminiscent of the critically acclaimed social statements of Altman's Nashville and Short Cuts.
The film centers on Michele, who works at a fish market while supporting her long unemployed husband, her heroin-addicted daughter and infant grandchild. For help she turns to Gerard, an ex-boyfriend with connections to the criminal world who helps her score smack to feed her daughter's habit. One day Michele meets Paul, a former dockworker who has given up a life of endless strikes to become a taxi driver. Vivian, an unhappily married music teacher starts an affair with Aberamane, a young North African ex-con who confronts prejudice no matter which race it springs from.
The Town is Quiet maintains an intensely contemporary urban reality that builds to an emotionally potent conclusion.
