Cannes Critics’ Week Opener ‘Ghost Trail’ Pays Tribute to the Quest of Syrian War Refugees – Watch Clip (EXCLUSIVE)


Cannes Critics’ Week opener 'Ghost Trail' is a thriller that pays tribute to the quest of Syrian war refugees.

French director Jonathan Millet riffs on manhunt tropes in “ Ghost Trail,” the psychological thriller that will be the Cannes Critics’ Week opener. Millet’s own life is reflected in the film’s script that stems from the fact that he lived a little over a year in Aleppo, Syria when he was 20 and the civil war hadn’t started yet. Cannes Critics’ Week artistic director Ava Cahen has described “Ghost Trail” as a “thrilling sensory film in which French-Tunisian actor Adam Bessa’s subtlety leaves us breathless.”
