"In the Days to Come": a film between a marital thriller and a family melodrama

To go further

The ordeal of Laura (Zita Hanrot), a young mother vampirized by her former partner, Joachim (Bastien Bouillon), himself dominated by his heroin addiction. Even though this mix between marital thriller and family melodrama intends to break away from the beaten track with a fragmented narrative (where a third character, Shirine, Joachim's new partner, enters the equation), "Aux jours qui venir" struggles to break away from the heavy narrative conventions implied by its subject (threats, vain and forceful explanations, suffocating crescendo), not unpredictable enough to escape the necessarily limited horizon of a preventive spot.
