Kompromat poster - a film by Jérôme Salle
A gripping yarn, well told. Both a thriller and a political statement.
A wild ride. Has a finely-tuned feel for pace and timing... A twist at every turn. You have to remind yourself to breathe.
A ripper. So much fun and so satisfying.
An entertaining tale, well-directed. Lellouche is the perfect lead.
Powerful and spectacular. A thrilling chase... very reminiscent of 'The Fugitive'. Efficient, breathless and edifying, with a lot to say about Russia.

Freely inspired by incredible true events, Jérôme Salle’s gripping, smash-hit espionage thriller depicts the remarkable story of a French public servant who unwittingly found himself in conflict with one of the modern era’s most powerful and dangerous forces: Russia’s FSB.

Gilles Lellouche stars as Mathieu, a gregarious and dedicated diplomat who accepts a posting to Irkutsk as the head of Siberia’s Alliance Française. He hopes the change will be good for his family and struggling marriage, but before long Mathieu’s staging of cultural events and support of artistic expression sees him fall afoul of local authorities. Accused of a terrible crime, he soon realises someone has fabricated a case with Russia’s Federal Security Service; he has been framed. Arrested, imprisoned and isolated, Mathieu has nowhere to turn. Defending himself is impossible, the French authorities are helpless... it seems he has no choice: to try and escape.

With top-notch direction and excellent performances by its entire cast (including Cold War’s fabulous Joanna Kulig), KOMPROMAT delivers pulse-pounding, ticking-clock cinema at its most compelling and entertaining.
