Vidocq
Beneath the gaslit streets of 19th-century Paris, this steampunk-infused crime thriller unfolds as a biographical investigation into the disappearance of legendary detective Vidocq. When his mentor falls prey to a shadowy assassin known only as the Alchemist – a figure obsessed with achieving eternal youth through forbidden alchemy – a young, determined biographer embarks on a perilous quest for vengeance. The film blends gritty procedural elements with a fantastical undercurrent, exploring the allure and dangers of occult practices as it unravels a conspiracy reaching the city's highest echelons. It’s a darkly atmospheric descent into a world where science and the supernatural collide, driven by a raw, almost desperate pursuit of justice and uncovering secrets hidden within the pursuit of immortality.
