Pierre Niney is definitely always ready to surprise his fans.

We had left him as a flirty secret agent in

OSS 117: Red alert in black Africa

by Nicolas Bedos.

We find him as an acoustician in charge of investigating a terrible plane crash in

Yann Gozlan's

Black Box

.

This breathtaking suspense, awarded the Audience Awards at Reims Polar and Angoulême, offers a golden role to the actor who finds the director of

Un homme Idéal

.

"I am happy that we have a filmmaker like that, who assumes to make thriller in France," Pierre Niney confides to

20 Minutes

.

Very well documented

It must be recognized that

Black Box

does not spare the viewer while the hero tries to understand the reasons for a deadly crash. Was it an attack, a piloting error or a technical problem? The young technician will improvise a detective and risk his life to discover the truth. Lou de La age and André Dussollier, impeccable, are also in the credits to help him or put sticks in the landing gear. "The film goes from the intimate to the spectacular and that is what makes its strength", insists Pierre Niney.

Like the main character, we feel our blood run cold in the face of the human but also financial stakes involved in an air crash.

We also learn a lot of things about the BEA, “Bureau of Investigation and Analysis”, responsible for understanding what may have happened before and during the accident by using the famous flight recorder which gives the film its title.

“This is what I also liked in the scenario, recognizes Pierre Niney.

Yann documented himself so that everything is credible ”.

This realistic side reinforces the angst as an evil plot unfolds.

Deliciously anxiety-provoking

Skillfully playing on the sympathy inspired by his youthful air, Pierre Niney

puts the public in its pocket by managing to cast doubt on each of its conclusions.

We really wonder if he hasn't lost his mind when he leaves his lab to go do some research in the field.

“This ambiguity is one of the drivers of the film, insists the actor.

I want every spectator is identified with my character

e

t feel the same discomfort as he.

"

It works so well that

Black Box

finds its place perfectly in the skies of these anxiety-inducing films which would make prefer the train to the plane.
