A rock musician Maxime moves back from Paris to his hometown of Tonnerre, Yonne. He now lives together with his father and a dog. He is interviewed by a young journalist Mélodie, who wants to write a story about him. The two become a couple, spending a good time together for a while. However, Mélodie suddenly dumps Maxime and makes up with her ex-boyfriend Ivan. Maxime steals a gun and kidnaps her.
The film had its world premiere at the Locarno Festival on 12 August 2013. [3] [4] It was released in France on 29 January 2014. [5]
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 83% based on 6 reviews, with an average rating of 7.25/10. [6]
Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Tonnerre is at once emotionally succinct and cinematically nonchalant, combining scripted drama with what seem like off-the-cuff scenes where local townfolk serve as bit players." [7] He called the film "an involving character study, with characters that resonate like real people." [7] Ronnie Scheib of Variety commented that Guillaume Brac "shifts tones radically, veering sharply from awkward romantic comedy into psychological-thriller territory, naturalizing his hero's obsessive behavior and downward spiral while leaving room for unexpected side trips." [8]
The film won the Special Mention from the FICC/IFFS Jury at the Locarno Festival. [9] Vincent Macaigne won the Best Actor award at the Mumbai Film Festival. [10]
