Back to Normandy
In 1975, director Nicolas Philibert (To Be and To Have) was a young assistant to film-maker Rene Allio. Together, they made 'I Pierre Riviere, Having Slaughtered My Mother, My Sister and My Brother' a little-seen film based on the disturbing true story of a peasant who murdered his family in 1835. All the main parts in 'I Pierre Riviere' were played by non-professional actors from Normandy. Here thirty years after the film's release, Philibert takes his camera back to the region to learn about the lives of its stars during the intervening years. Weaving through time - between 1975, and the present time, and the nineteenth century, Philibert creates yet another captivating documentary.
