Trilogy consists of three stand alone stories, all set in Grenoble, and three different genres, thriller, comedy and melodrama, that taken as a whole become inextricably linked. A contemporary tour de force by Lucas Belvaux that calls to mind Kieslowski's ‘Three Colours' trilogy. In this, the first of the trio, Bruno is an idealistic hard line terrorist, who, after a brutal prison break and regardless of his former comrades' reticence, sets about continuing the violent career his incarceration curtailed. On The Run is an intense and atmospheric dramatic thriller.
