Under Paris

• Action
• Horror

A uniquely preposterous disaster film unfolds as a massive shark breaches the Seine, threatening an international summit in Paris. Beyond the spectacle, *Under Paris* distinguishes itself with a surprisingly melancholic core, anchored by a female scientist wrestling with personal tragedy while desperately attempting to neutralize the threat. The film isn’t interested in subtle environmental commentary, instead embracing a delightfully absurd premise – the shark's origins rooted in prehistoric Parisian catacombs – creating a darkly humorous tension that sets it apart from typical creature features. This isn’t merely a shark attack movie; it’s a bizarre, surprisingly emotional exploration of grief set against the backdrop of a potential geopolitical crisis, leaning heavily into its own absurdity rather than aspiring to be a serious ecological thriller.
