There was a moment back in 2008 that casual science enthusiasts might remember, just before the Large Hadron Collider was first activated, when armchair observers experienced a frisson of semi-superstitious worry. The nuclear research device, after all, was specifically designed not just to discover the unknown but to create the conditions under which to examine it, and no amount of rational thinking could entirely obliterate an abstract uneasiness that maybe we were going too far, that some cosmic catastrophe might ensue: our collective lizard-brain instinct of “what if?” It’s that unfounded, unspoken anxiety that Blaise Harrison’s debut feature “Particles” evokes so well that it threatens to obliterate the very slight coming-of-age story it adorns.

The French debut film Particles (Les Particules) has a pitch that could hardly be more intriguing, as it combines a very unusual location with some of the expected tropes of a well-defined genre.

Its setting is the Pays de Gex, on the French side of the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, where the world’s largest particle accelerator, Cern’s Large Hadron Collidor, lies buried about 300 feet beneath the ground, where it tries to re-create the Big Bang. But in his ...
