Her taciturn accumulation of emotions finds some illumination in the optimism of Thomas (Benoît Magimel), another survivor who was celebrating his birthday on that fateful evening. Circumspectly shot, this heartbreaking description of how to overcome trauma is centred on the victims, not the murderers.

The images are poignant, the sound is effective and Efira’s Mia shines as an emotionally adrift survivor in a drama that, while fictionalised, channels post-Bataclan sentiment with tact and humanity. It provides a soulful look at learning how to live again when you have miraculously escaped dying. ‘Revoir Paris’ was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
