Paris by Night
by British Screen Productions, Film Four International
She is convinced that her ex-business partner Andrew Ray is blackmailing her. Upon accidentally meeting Ray, Clara impulsively murders the man. In a deliciously ironic turn of events, she is approached by Ray’s daughter who hopes that she’ll help her locate her missing father. Clara eventually finds out Ray had been innocent all along, but a greater shock awaits her at the hands of her long-neglected husband. British playwright David Hare both wrote and directed this complex political thriller. Hare avoids preachiness, thanks largely to taut, sparse dialogue and brooding visuals from cinematographer Roger Pratt. It’s near impossible not to be drawn into the unfolding intrigue. – Time Out, Claude MaudeSynopsis
Clara Paige is a Tory member of the European parliament, who lets absolutely nothing get in way of her ambitions.
