Chrysalis Main Image

An impeccably tooled, high-octane sci-fi thrill with a thick layer of visionary cool, CHRYSALIS delivers a huge helping of familiar genre goods in a shiny new package.’ Variety

In a bleak and gray Paris, year 2020, a high-tech surgeon and her daughter are involved in an horrific car accident – with the young girl losing her life. However, with advanced technology the grieving surgeon is able to resurrect her daughter from the grave… Meanwhile gung-ho police officer Hoffman loses his wife and partner in a pitched gun battle with an escaped gangland criminal. Seeking revenge his investigation takes him all the way to the surgeon and a clinic run by the iron hand of technology, where all is not as it seems.

With explosive fight sequences from cutting-edge stunt co-ordinator Alain Figlarz (THE BOURNE IDENTITY), CHRYSALIS is a slick sci-fi thriller in the dystopian tradition of BLADE RUNNER, MINORITY REPORT and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

A cyberpunk thriller, future-shock noir with stiff shots of intense, adrenaline-fuelled action. This is a very stylish movie..
