Description

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. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives, including the written confession of Pierre himself.
