Misericordia

Jérémie returns to his hometown for the funeral of his former boss, the village baker. He decides to stay for a few days with Martine, the man's widow. A mysterious disappearance, a threatening neighbour and a priest with strange intentions make Jérémie's short stay in the village take an unexpected turn... Alain Guiraudie is one of the most unique and transgressive voices in cinema, and this deepest French mixture of black comedy and melodrama, steeped in dark desires, again reveals his penchant for genre-hopping and narrative unpredictability.
