By the imagination of Matthew weiner have passed some of the most recognized series worldwide. Now he is taking over the literary market with a novel at the height of his creations in the world of the small television format (Mad men, Los Sopranos ...)
There is always something special about a first film. And for a seasoned artist like Weiner, I suppose it will be, too. In this literary debut, he offers us a thriller from the depths of our fears: the danger of our families.
It is true that it is not an original starting point. But everything can turn out fresh depending on the given approach. As we can expect, Weiner moves in the literary as he would for a screenplay. Dynamic scenes, very lively ...
Heather is the daughter of Mark, a potentate guy. As they say, he loves his daughter madly.
Chance provokes a fleeting encounter with another young man, a complete loser, a disinherited, an unfortunate son of misery. Heather and Bobby, that's the name of the unfortunate young man, look at each other. Mark observes the situation with a point of depersonalization, as if fear takes hold of him.
It was only an instant, a crossing into an inconsequential vital instant. There was hardly any greeting or exchange of anything. But Mark had enough. In that instant he discovered that his daughter was in danger.
Our fears can lead to psychosis. Our fears of losing what we love the most can finally turn us into something we didn't pretend to be.
There is no healthy obsession, but when and how do you stop an obsession?
A novel that oozes tension, that confronts us with the poles of love and goodbye, of reason and madness.
Nothing happened. In that chance encounter, absolutely nothing happened. But Mark speculated too much about what might have happened. And from that moment everything will go from bad to worse ...
