Film Synopsis
In 1975, as a young assistant filmmaker, Nicolas Philibert took part in an exceptional filmmaking adventure with the director René Allio. This film recounted a true story that took place in Normandy in 1835, in which a 20-year-old peasant farmer killed three members of his family with a sickle. Shot on the spot not far from where the murders took place, Allio's film owed it force to the fact that most of the roles were taken by ordinary people living in the area. Thirty years on, Nicolas Philibert returns to the region, as much to evoke memories of this past adventure as to show things as they are today.© James Travers
