Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Based on documents compiled by leading French philosopher Michel Foucault, this unique and original film charts the gruesome events which took place in a Normandy village in 1835, when a young man, Pierre Rivière, murdered his mother, sister and brother before fleeing to the countryside. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place, the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives, including the written confession of Pierre himself, and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of "truth" and "history". |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Most of the actors that appear in the movie are villagers without acting experience, from the same region were the actual events happened, except from the judges and doctors; the director did this in order to preserve that idea on how the villagers didn't have any education and were isolated from the society back then.
