About Les araignées de la nuit
In the lead up to the presidential elections five candidates turn up from out of nowhere. Then, as the days go by, they are eliminated one by one, each meeting with a violent death, until one is left to become president.
Directed by Jean-Pierre Mocky, Les araignées de la nuit leans on a strong ensemble — Jean-Pierre Mocky, Patricia Barzyk, François Toumarkine — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2002.
