Bastards (French: Les Salauds) is a 2013 thriller film directed by Claire Denis.

[4][5] Marco Silvestri is an oil tanker captain who works abroad and now has little contact with his sister, Sandra.

Marco notes that the product quality was poor and feels that his sister and brother-in-law brought their financial difficulties on themselves, but he shares her anger at Laporte.

He leaves his flat unfurnished and sells his watch, life insurance policy, and car to pay the other creditors.

Marco gives the pimp and prostitute who organize the parties, Xavier and Elysée, a large sum of cash so they'll let him into the building.

Sandra doesn't not want the police to be involved, but they later find Justine wandering naked down a nearby street.

Still looking for clues as to what happened, Marco visits an internet cafe where Xavier sells him images of Justine arriving at the sex club with Edouard and her father.

Raphaëlle goes to Marco's apartment and tells him that her son has been taken, blaming him for Joseph's absence and accusing him of using her to hurt Edouard.

After Xavier and Elysée fall asleep, Justine appears to be more lucid, with both hands firmly on the wheel.

The tape shows a fully clothed Edouard watching while Justine's naked father looms over her, holding a corn cob.

[13] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 69 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
