Unbreakable
This program brings together several film duos, exploring the unique dynamics of face-to-face encounters. These interactions can take the form of a chase, a direct confrontation, a tense meeting behind closed doors, or a spectacular final showdown. Antagonists, doubles, adversaries, or alter egos: these are all troubled relationships that unite and tear apart the protagonists, between fascination and aversion.
David Dunn, a simple security guard, miraculously survives a train accident. Elijah Price, a specialist in superhero comics, is convinced that Dunn is an exceptional person, as superheroes are. Will he be able to convince him of the seriousness of his intuition?
M. Night Shyamalan
M. Night Shyamalan is an American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, and actor of Indian descent. He received two Academy Award nominations, for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, for The Sixth Sense. Shyamalan is known for including himself in his films, much like Alfred Hitchcock. Unlike simple cameos, his roles often play a significant part in the narrative. Blending contemporary storytelling with supernatural elements, Shyamalan has established himself as one of the leading thriller directors of his generation. His early hits, such as The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and The Village, were met with widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Although some of his later works received mixed reviews, they remained commercially successful. Shyamalan revitalized his career with The Visit (2015) and solidified his comeback with Split (2017), reaffirming his status as a prominent filmmaker in the industry.
