Une nouvelle adaptation de La Faille, d’Antónis Samarákis, bientôt à l’écran

Antónis Samarákis’s noir novel La Faille, a 1970 Grand Prix recipient for detective literature, is receiving a new film adaptation by Theophilos Papastylianos. The work—a dark political thriller depicting a man’s arrest and interrogation by secret police in an unnamed authoritarian regime—blends suspense with satirical critique of state repression. Originally adapted by Peter Fleischmann in 1975, this new production marks Papastylianos’s directorial debut. The Greek-Latvian co-production involves ERT television, Mima Films, and Greek Film Centre support, with shooting scheduled near Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in the Basque region. Samarákis’s existential thriller resonates with dark alternative sensibilities through its exploration of bureaucratic violence and political paranoia.
