Overview

A policeman and a serial killer play cat and mouse in an isolated mountain village in Nineteenth century France. The second film directed by the man who played the admirable lead role in Robert Bresson's A Man Escaped is a stylized and intense adaptation of a novel by Jean Giono. This police investigation in a 19th century village combines visual beauty with the rigor of the mise-en-scène—the vertigo of the criminal motivations indivisible from the refined graphics of the images.

00:05:21 I'm just an ordinary civilian now.

00:07:18 It's over.

00:11:39 Can see in here about as well as up an asshole.

00:14:57 Why all the fuss? It's not the first time someone's lost then found in spring?

00:17:15 We feel it... Here we feel someone is...

00:19:15 Your boots! Dress up warmly!

00:21:36 - Over where? - At Joseph's.

00:24:31 I'm a fan of souls. Yours interests me greatly.

00:44:50 Watch yourself carefully, especially from a side you wouldn't usually.

00:47:09 According to the saying, midnight is the "hour for crimes".

00:49:38 A splendor, comparable to... It may be as old as Louis XIII.

00:52:52 So, did you safely bring home all your sheep?

01:04:34 - This is your home? - Yes.

10:00:00 back when I was in my prime.
