About This Movie

Sanctuary (2015) is a gripping film that delves into a tense period in the 1980s, where the backdrop of political turmoil creates a thick, oppressive atmosphere. The narrative revolves around the GAL's relentless pursuit of ETA members, showcasing the ethical gray areas in the fight against terrorism. Olivier Masset-Depasse crafts a slow burn, allowing the viewer to feel the weight of decisions made by Grégoire Fortin and Domingo 'Txomin' Iturbe. The performances are nuanced, capturing the desperation and conviction of both sides. Practical effects are minimal but effective, focusing more on the psychological tension than outright violence. This film doesn't shy away from moral complexities, making it a thought-provoking watch for anyone interested in historical dramas and the darker sides of justice.
