EFF: The Accusation

"Intelligent, classily mounted and well-acted." - ScreenDaily

The Farels are a power couple: he is a famous television presenter, and she a writer known for her feminist activism. When their son, a student at Stanford University, is accused of raping a young woman from a Jewish family, the family's life flies off the rails.  

In this film adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name, director Yvan Attal delivers a timely and thought-provoking story exploring the intersection of class, sex, truth and consent. Premiering at Venice Film Festival, The Accusation is a stunning French drama featuring an outstanding performance from Charlotte Gainsbourg.
