10/10
I defy you to know who the killer is before it is revealed to you
19 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
A very effective film in which the worst is always to come. An old greedy and dirty doctor takes advantage of a young girl raped by her father and provides her with an abortion, in fact a sterilization at the same time. The doc is killed. So what happens next; She moves the body to New Orleans to have him buried next to his wife or something. She is getting all her money out of the bank, what was on her personal savings bank account. She goes to New Orleans to get back to a boy friend of hers who does not respect her at all and takes advantage of her again. Along the way she meets with a young man who has a guilty feeling on his back that is so heavy that he can, hardly walk tall and straight. But he falls in love with her. And after a lot of small details he manages to go away with her practically freed by the sheriff himself. And we only learn who killed the peculiar doctor at the very end and it is a general surprise. How complicated simple things can become in the hands of complicated spirits, and police and justice are some of the most complicated spirits in this world.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, University Paris Dauphine, University Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne & University Versailles Saint Quentin en Yvelines
