Misericordia
After ten years, Jérémie returns to his hometown of Saint-Martial in south-east France to attend the funeral of the village baker Jean-Pierre. As a teenager, Jérémie was his apprentice - and perhaps even more. Vincent, the deceased's latently violent son, greets Jérémie with suspicion, but also with an underlying desire. Martine, the baker's widow, offers him a place to sleep and seeks his physical closeness more directly. The mysterious returnee also creates ambivalent sexual tensions with farmer Walter and the inquisitive priest Grisolles. When Vincent disappears without a trace, suspicion quickly falls on Jérémie.
In his new film ‘Misericordia’, Alain Guiraudie (‘The Stranger by the Lake’), the master of the sensually abysmal provincial tale, once again weaves a subtle web of inhibited lust and erotic manipulation - and unravels it with bizarre twists and absurd humour. His mythically and spiritually charged thriller-comedy is inspired by Hitchcock and Pasolini, is not interested in genre boundaries and follows its very own moral. A masterpiece of contemporary queer cinema from France, which has already been celebrated in Cannes and was ranked number 1 in the Cahiers du Cinéma editors' top 10 of the year!
