Oh Mercy!
French auteur Arnaud Desplechin directs this policier about a commissioner in northern France investigating the brutal murder of a elderly woman. [French title: Roubaix, une lumière]
“Rambling but strangely compelling, Oh Mercy!’s documentary bedrock gives the investigation at the heart of the film a real authenticity. From around its midpoint, this uneven film becomes a riveting, compassionate interrogation drama.” ~ Lee Marshall, Screen Daily
