The Prayer
After an overdose, 22-year-old heroin addict Thomas (Berlin Best Actor winner Anthony Bajon) is sent to a Catholic mountain retreat, where he goes cold turkey. Ensconced amongst his fellow recovering addicts, he knows he must make some hard choices… Cédric Kahn’s (L’Ennui) brisk direction is a pleasure to watch, but it is the remarkable performance of new star Bajon that gives the film its heart and soul. "Kahn returns in strong, unfussy form with this poignant but unsentimental study." —Variety
