PULSAR, 2010, Corridor, 91 min. When Samuel's girlfriend Mireille heads off to New York for a prestigious internship and he stays behind to work in Brussels, his life starts to unravel. His computer is hacked, a series of dodgy IT guys fail to protect his wireless network and a mysterious hacker seems intent on ruining his now long-distance relationship with Mireille. Paranoia meets flailing romance meets darkly tinged mystery in director Alex Stockman's fascinating look at the way online technology dictates our lives, relationships and even mental stability. In Dutch and French with English subtitles. "Tapping into contempo paranoia about computer hackers and privacy in the Internet age with a romantic twist, Belgian drama PULSAR is a taut little thriller that's big on atmosphere." - Variety.
