"Surprisingly hilarious yet unsurprisingly horny." Janus Films has revealed an official US trailer and a new poster for the acclaimed French indie film titled
Misericordia, which first premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival last year. This thriller from French director Alain Guiraudie (also of
Strange by the Lake) also played at the Telluride, Toronto, New York, London, and Busan Film Festivals last year. In the film, Jérémie returns to his hometown for an old baker friend's funeral, staying even longer after. In this village where so much goes unsaid, he must contend with rumours and suspicion, until he commits an irreparable act and finds himself at the center of a police investigation. Starring
Félix Kysyl as Jérémie, with
Catherine Frot,
Jacques Develay,
Jean-Baptiste Durand, and
David Ayala. In Alain Guiraudie's quietly carnal world, violence & eroticism explode with little anticipation, and criminal behavior seems like a natural extension of physical desire. They add: "the French director is at the top of his game in
Misericordia, again upending all genre expectations." The film has earned rave reviews from many critics during its festival run, with many quotes seen in this trailer including calling it a "sickly funny thriller." Opens in limited theaters
this March. //
