French Obsession Thriller ‘Who You Think I Am’ Opning In Theaters This September

Director Safy Nebbou‘s feature adaptation of Camille Laurens’ French indie thriller Who You Think I Am will open in theaters in both LA and New York next week. An Official Selection at the Berlin International Film Festival, Who You Think I Am “balances cunning and vulnerability in this romantic cyber-drama turned psychological thriller from writer-director Safy Nebbou. Ghosted by her hunky twenty-something lover, Claire (Binoche), a middle-aged professor and single mom, creates a fake Facebook profile to do a little undetected online snooping. But when her 24-year-old avatar “Clara” is friended by her ex’s equally attractive roommate (François Civil), superficial correspondence quickly escalates towards intense intimacy and uncontrollable obsession. Adapted from Camille Laurens’ best-selling novel—and co-scripted by Julie Peyr, a regular collaborator of Arnaud Desplechin—Who You Think I Am blends genres and bends reality to dizzying effect.” Who You Think I Am opens in theaters on September 3, 2021.
