I usually like my films to provide conclusive answers to things like murders and death. In fact to anything! Be warned in this death mystery you mainly aren't being fed much conclusive evidence.
We follow a mysterious death in the French Alps as a novelist couple Sandra and University lecturer Samuel reside at a chalet with their visually impaired son.
Samuel falls to his death from the upper floor with devastating consequences where after initial investigation wife Sandra is made the primary suspect and a courtroom drama ensues including a tape recording of the couple's fiery relationship. Add to the mix that the main witness is the visually impaired son.
The French/English movie plot has death, a courtroom drama, foreign language with subtitles and plenty of thought processes to contend with the lack of conclusive evidence.
The film is pretty long but keeps the viewer engrossed throughout. The courtroom scenes are pretty different to your usual legal angle being French. Don't be put off some scenes are cleverly shot in English.
I never thought I would be endeared to such a film but I couldn't leave the screen. The plot, the cast, the French legal angle, the film towards the end where the son takes the stand are all highlights. A film I recommend wholeheartedly.
