Back To Normandy - DVD

Back To Normandy  -  DVD

 

In 1975, director Nicolas Philibert (Etre et Avoir) was a young assistant to film-maker René Allio. Together, they made 'Moi, Pierre Rivière, ayant égorgé ma mère, ma soeur et mon frère' ('I, Pierre Rivière, having cut the throat of my mother, my sister and my brother ) a little-seen film based on the disturbing true story of a peasant who murdered his family in 1835. All the main parts in 'I, Pierre Rivière' were played by non-professional actors from Normandy. Here, thirty years after the film's release, Philibert takes his camera back to the region to learn about the lives of its stars during the intervening years. Weaving through time - between 1975, the present time, and the nineteenth century - Philibert creates yet another captivating documentary.
