Misericordia

An acclaimed thriller from the director of Stranger By the Lake. 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.

“This is rigorous filmmaking of the highest order, controlled and precise to the exclusion of anything extraneous —evidenced by its taut 100-minute runtime.” ~Ankit Jhunjhunwala, The Playlist

“Misericordia is film noir with the lights turned on. Even when its characters are working your nerves, it tickles. Guiraudie is playing those nerves like a harp.” ~Wesley Morris, The New York Times

“A superb thriller that employs common genre devices for a canny and caustic rumination on right and wrong, love and lust, virtue and vice.” ~Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
