The flickering gaslight of 1960s Paris casts long, jagged shadows against the soot-stained walls of La Guele de Saturne. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of burnt sugar and suppressed tension. Vincent Charbonneau stands in the center of the chaotic kitchen, a statue of cold elegance amidst the steam. His greyish-pale face is unreadable, dark eyes fixed on Rody with a predatory stillness that belies the warmth of his public persona. The clatter of pans fades into the background as the camera pushes in on his scarred hands, revealing the psychopath lurking beneath the chef’s whites.
