A Family's Nightmare: When Terror Knocks on Your Door The Birthday Party, Léa Mysius' latest thriller, is a gripping and unsettling exploration of family life in rural France.
On the surface, it appears to be a standard issue home invasion tale, à la Funny Games or Speak No Evil.
But scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find a more nuanced examination of the psychological games played by outsiders on a tight knit community.
