GFT, 12 Rose Street
One of the discoveries of Cannes Film Festival, Grand Central sets a torrid romance against the dangers of the nuclear power industry. Tahar Rahim’s Gary is among the expendable workers hired to clean and repair nuclear reactors. Safety is a matter for the individual; if Gary’s radiation levels rise he becomes unemployable. His attraction to Karole (Léa Seydoux from Blue Is the Warmest Colour) is immediate and their affair plays out in a series of lyrical lakeside meetings. She is living with gentle giant Toni, which only adds to the sense of danger in lives that are being risked by a cynical industry every single working day. A poetic drama with a powerhouse cast.
