This recently restored classic tells of the events leading up to the enigmatic triple murder committed by a young French man in the 1830s. Brought to life by non-professional local actors, Allio's film echoes the naturalistic style of storytelling found in Pierre's eloquent memoir, written while awaiting trial, which accounts for his murderous actions. A classic of a kind.
