Left Bank (Linkeroever) (2008) 
Marie is a keen runner, so keen in fact that she has had and has little time for anything else in life and the drive to train, compete and win eclipses all. Her world takes an irrevocable turn when she suffers a collapse due to exhaustion and is forced into a new life of recuperation and relaxation, something that is the anti-thesis to all that she has known. Marie decides she needs a break from her home-life and shacks up with the enigmatic Bobby, whom she has only just met, in Left Bank; the tower block that harbours a deep, dark secret from an age long past, steeped in folklore, mystery, ritual and sacrifice.
It is here at Left Bank, where Marie’s supposed recuperation turns into a mysterious self-voyage of discovery and self-analysis. She experiences strange fever dreams and a further injury to her knee pushes her ever further away from her previous life into the unknown. Her days are spent feeling increasingly more isolated from her previous existence and transition is in the air. The membrane of mystery becomes denser throughout as Marie begins to investigate what happened to the previous tenant who suddenly disappeared; her inquiries raise further questions: who really is the enigmatic man she has moved in with? What is the history of Left Bank? What really lurks in its subterranean depths?
A fantastically moody work with a complimentary score and superb cinematography, Left Bank is an allegory-steeped chilling mystery that encapsulates the notion of sacrifice whilst propagating the hope of second chances.
