Misericordia
Some confessions come with a body count.
Directed by Alain Guiraudie
Produced by CG Cinéma, ARTE France Cinéma
A darkly comic neo-noir thriller that weaves grief, desire, and moral ambiguity through a provincial village where a funeral becomes the catalyst for secrets, suspicion, and murder.
Jérémie returns to his hometown for the funeral of his former boss, the village baker. He decides to stay for a few days with Martine, the man's widow. A mysterious disappearance, a threatening neighbor and a priest with strange intentions make Jérémie's short stay in the village take an unexpected turn.
