SUMMARY:French Film Festival | Screening of Misericordia (2024) by Alain Guiraudie
DESCRIPTION:Director Alain Guiraudie’s strange and erotic thriller has been described as a compelling mix between Hitchcock and Pasolini… \nAs part of the fourth edition of the Princeton French Film Festival\, you are invited to the screening of Misericordia (2024) by Alain Guiraudie. \n🏆 Winner of the Best Film prize from the Cahiers du cinéma. Received eight nomations at the 2025 César Awards and one (Queen Palm) at the Cannes Film Festival. \nLogistics:In French with English subtitles. Open to everyone upon registration. \nSynopsis: The teasingly entwined ambiguities of love and death continue to fascinate Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake\, NYFF51)\, who returns with a sharp\, sinister\, yet slyly funny thriller. Set in an autumnal\, woodsy village in his native region of Occitanie\, his latest follows the meandering exploits of Jérémie (Félix Kysyl)\, an out-of-work baker who has drifted back to his hometown after the death of his beloved former boss\, a bakery owner. Staying long after the funeral\, the seemingly benign Jérémie begins to casually insinuate himself into his mentor’s family\, including his kind-hearted widow (Catherine Frot) and venomously angry son (Jean-Baptiste Durand)\, while making an increasingly surprising—and ultimately beneficial—friendship with an oddly cheerful local priest (Jacques Develay). In Guiraudie’s quietly carnal world\, violence and eroticism explode with little anticipation\, and criminal behavior can seem like a natural extension of physical desire. The French director is at the top of his game in Misericordia\, again upending all genre expectations. \nOrganized by the Princeton University’s Princeton Film Festival organization. We thank our sponsors and partners for their support (complete list on our website). Open to everyone regardless of identity. All rooms are wheelchair-friendly and attendees can contact us at filmfestival@princeton.edu for special accommodations (preferably 48 hours before the scheduled event). Please be aware that pictures might be taken before\, during\, and after the event.
