Thirst Street

[Available Feb. 12 via streaming on MUBI.] Anjelica Huston narrates Nathan Silver's compelling, award-winning, superbly acted, well-written, risqué, somber, 83-minute, 2017 psychological thriller in which a distraught, depressed, grieving, 35-year-old American flight attendant (Lindsay Burdge) immerses herself in her job to the concern of her coworkers after her boyfriend commits suicide and then moves to Paris on a whim after a one-night stand, takes a job as a waitress at cabaret nightclub run by its gruff owner (Jacques Nolot), becomes obsessed with and stalks a charming, aloof French bartender (Damien Bonnard), who already has a talented rock singer girlfriend (Esther Garrel), and quickly becomes more possessive, delusional, and unpredictable as he desperately tries to break up with her.
