Ich, Pierre Rivière, der ich meine Mutter, meine Schwester und meinen Bruder getötet habe (6.5)

I, Pierre Rivière, Having Slaughtered My Mother, My Sister and My Brother…
Film · 1976 · 2 h 10 min · Krimi, Drama

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. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place, the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives, including the written confession of Pierre himself, and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of “truth” and “history”.

Regie: René Allio
