In a secluded university high in the French Alps, a mysterious and brutal serial killer is spreading fear and terror. During the investigation, the paths of the taciturn professional cop Pierre Niémans soon cross with those of the young, hot-headed detective Max Kerkerian. On the border of death and eternal ice, they finally uncover the secret of the purple rivers ...
DIE PURPURNEN FLÜSSE (THE PURPLE RIVERS) is a high-tension, hot and cold thriller in a class of its own by Matthieu Kassovitz (HASS, GOTHIKA), which set new standards for the genre in 2000 and was successfully continued as a TV series of the same name from 2018 with a different cast after DIE PURPURNEN FLÜSSE 2 - DIE ENGEL DER APOKALYPSE (2004). Cinema describes the multi-layered film as a "confident, atmospherically dense psychological thriller in an ominous mountain idyll [...] which in its best moments is reminiscent of SIEBEN and DAS SCHWEIGEN DER LÄMMER." Jean Reno (LÉON - THE PROFESSIONAL, RONIN, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE) and Vincent Cassel (ELIZABETH, IRREVERSIBEL, OCEAN'S 12 & 13) are convincing in the leading roles as opposing investigators on the gripping hunt for a serial killer.
