Heartbeat Detector is a 2007 French film, originally titled La Question Humaine, starring Mathieu Amalric.
In it Amalric plays the part of a psychologist who works alongside human resources in a company that’s undergoing major restructuring. Not the most moral of men, he sleeps around on his girlfriend in the office building.
He is told by his superiors to look into the CEO’s background and analyze him to see if he’s fit for his job. The CEO discovers these probes, however, and reveals to the psychologist that the men sending him have Nazi backgrounds. With a bit more digging the psychologist learns that the CEO, too, has a Nazi background. And when blackmail letters start to arrive the psychologist must track down the source.
Heartbeat Detector was directed by Nicolas Klotz and runs 143 minutes long.
