Bakery’s closed but the priest’s got baguette enough to feed the village
Directed by Alain Guiraudie
Misericordia
Miséricorde
An acclaimed, atmospheric drama.
Η επιστροφή του Ζερεμί στη γενέτειρά του για την κηδεία του πρώην αφεντικού του, του φούρναρη του χωριού, εξελίσσεται σταδιακά σε μια δίνη παραδοξότητας, αιματηρών μυστηρίων και απρόσμενων σεξουαλικών εξελίξεων. Όσο η προσωρινή παραμονή του νεαρού στο σπίτι της χήρας του εκλιπόντος παρατείνεται, τόσο περισσότερο αρχίζει να επισκιάζεται από μια μυστηριώδη εξαφάνιση, τις απειλητικές διαθέσεις ενός γείτονα και τις παρεξηγήσιμες προθέσεις ενός ιερέα.
