Film Review: Misericordia

MISERICORDE (MISERICORDIA) (France 2024) ****
Directed by Alain Giuraudie

 

Returning to Saint-Martial for his late boss's funeral, Jérémie's stay with widow Martine becomes entangled in a disappearance, a threatening neighbor, and an abbot's shady intentions.

MISERICORDE has the feel of a Claude Chabrol murder film in which the cat-and-mouse tale is mainly the mouse outwitting the cat with the aid of his cohorts.  The film is a prized twisted macabre tale with bouts of unexpected humour from the director of the 2014 gay hit L’CONNU DU LAC (Stranger by the Lake), this one with the fabulous Catherine Frot as a widow. who takes in Jérémie (Félix Kysyl) as a lodger whose sensual presence is immediately and progressively destabilizing to everyone around him.  Martine (Catherine Frot) happens to be the mother of his childhood friend, the brutish Vincent (Jean-Baptiste Durand).

Cannes 2025 International Festival du Film - Capsule Reviews of Select Films

CAPSULE REVIEWS of  Select Films will be posted once embargoes have lifted.  Embargo dates listed.

 

This reviewer did not get the privilege of going to Cannes but thanks to the publicists at the PR Factory, and with them sending screeners, I am able to review their films on this site.  These are smaller but by no means less important films, films that are screened at the other sections in Cannes, such as the Un Certain Regard and Quinzaine Sections.   All embargoes are respected, and capsule reviews are only posted once the embargoes are lifted.
