Plot

In a small town in northern France, Pharaon De Winter, a lonely police detective, investigates the rape and murder of a young girl. He is a quiet, odd man, and his investigation is slow, rather than driven by action. Bruno Dumont's 1999 film won the Grand Prix at Cannes, plus the best actor prize for Emmanuel Schotté and best actress for Séverine Caneele, both non-professionals.

Sinekatalog’s take

Bruno Dumont's film follows a lonely, odd police detective in northern France who slowly investigates the rape and murder of a young girl. Emmanuel Schotté won the best actor prize at Cannes in a slow, harsh and strangely compassionate film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
