MISERICORDIA
Death and desire
make a potent cocktail in Alain
Guiraudie’s sinister, yet slyly funny thriller set in
an autumnal village in Occitanie, France. Jérémie (Félix Kysyl), is an out-of-work baker who has drifted back to his
hometown after the death of his beloved former boss. Perhaps overstaying his
welcome, casually ingratiating himself into his mentor’s family, while making
an increasingly surprising friendship with an oddly cheerful local priest (Jacques Develay). (France, 2024, 104 mins, French | Dir. Alain Guiraudie)
