Irréversible star Vincent Cassel is one of contemporary France’s greatest and most daring actors. Since bursting into UK public consciousness with the explosive La Haine (1995), the Parisian firecracker has continued to take risks, appearing in such adrenalin-rush, envelope-pushers as Dobermann (1997) and Brotherhood Of The Wolf (2001). More recently he’s just wrapped David Cronenberg’s Russian gangster thriller Eastern Promises, but it’s his creepy outing in debut co-writer/director Kim Chapiron’s blackly comic French horror Satan (Sheitan) that’s currently got genre fans talking. Cassel delivers the most deranged performance of his career, playing the maniacally grinning housekeeper Joseph who plunges a group of townie clubbers into inbred, rural hell.
