La veuve de Saint-Pierre (2000)

£0.00


Country: FR/CAN
Technical: col/Panavision 112m
Director: Patrice Leconte
Cast: Juliette Binoche, Daniel Auteuil, Emir Kusturica, Michel Duchaussoy

Synopsis:

1849: on the North Atlantic colony of the title, a stockade captain's wife takes pity on a prisoner condemned to the guillotine, which is so long arriving that soon all but the haughtiest inhabitants of the island want to see the sentence reprieved.

Review:

The customary tale of power both used and abused, this time in the cruellest of environments, is distinguished by its enlightened central premise, that a man condemned is rarely the same man by the time he is executed.
