Product Information
This dark drama explores a true tale set in 1850 on the isolated French-Canadian island of St. Pierre. Yugoslav director Emir Kustirica makes a fabulous acting debut as Neele August, an illiterate fisherman who brutally murders his ex-fishing captain in a night of drunken revelry. Sentenced to death, August cannot be killed until the remote island Governor imports a used guillotine from the French government. While awaiting the arrival of the "widow," August is placed under the care of the reticent, iconoclastic Captain Jean (Daniel Auteuil) and his freethinking wife Pauline (Juliette Binoche). Under Pauline's direction, August becomes a devoted social servant whose heroic deeds place the island's female population solidly against his death sentence. The film's costuming and art direction are accomplished, setting the stage for Eduardo Serra's gorgeous landscape cinematography, at its best amongst the dreary seasonal changes of the remote island. Low angles, hand-held camerawork, and consistently foggy skies create a seasick feeling as director Patrice Leconte's pained attention to Jean's horse and the society surrounding the main characters elevates the film from a tidy chamber drama into a visually engaging philosophical discourse.Product Identifiers

Not to be missed.
A condemned murderer awaiting execution. A captain's wife who sees the good in that murderer's heart. Her supportive husband who believes in her vision. The good that comes from that vision that the community sees. The resistance of the provisional government to recognize it insisting on the execution. Redemption, integrity and tragedy combine. This is top of the line in character study, story line, casting and photography. Film making at its best. It doesn't get any better than this. .Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Worth viewing
Because it is based upon a real life experience, makes it even more interesting. An unusual story, well acted and located in a little-traveled location. Want something different.......check it out!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
