Stephane Audran , Jean Yanne
After 15 years in the army, Popaul Thomas returns to the small Perigord town of Tremolat to run his late father's butcher's shop. He meets the local schoolteacher Helene Marcoux and an uncertain, platonic relationship begins between them. Then, in a nearby village, a young girl is found stabbed to death ...
Another psychological drama from the author of Les Biches, last week's Film International. This is a brilliant and compassionate study of the heart and mind of a murderer, and features another perfectly judged performance from Stephane Audran.
