If marinating in paranoia is your idea of a good time, Fontana's beautifully executed debut is as good as it gets.

Restraint and alarm are the film's keynotes, with a hint of wry black comedy in every exchange.

Fontana's sinewy debut teems with unseen threat. He crafts an atmosphere of grubbiness despite all the polished surfaces.

‘Azor’ is a brilliantly made political drama that takes time to explore the subjects and the space.
