“A complex, melancholic meditation on isolation as well as a portrait of collective hysteria.”
—New York Film Festival

No misery could be a match for his mercy. A killer—Jacques Perrin, best known as the winsome sailor of THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT — relieves old women of their misery with death’s release in this thoroughly pathological investigation into the idiosyncrasies of compassion. A masterpiece from underrated French auteur Paul Vechialli (FEMMES, FEMMES). 2K restoration.
