The film was widely expected to be presented in the official competition of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, but was instead entered in the Cannes Première section
Line of Events
Back in Saint-Martial for the funeral of his late boss, Jérémie’s stay with the widow Martine is intertwined with a disappearance, a menacing neighbor, and the shady intentions of an abbot.
Misericordia takes its time shooting and once it starts shooting, there is no way to hold back the laughter until it reaches its climax in the final shot
With a very delicate humor sprinkled throughout the film, it tells the story of a taciturn man who visits a village to attend the funeral of a mentor.
What I love about Misericordia is the way it suddenly changes its writing to make the viewer laugh, all in a deadpan style
There he meets his mentor’s wife, his son, and a priest, who all seem to be saying something other than what is on their minds.
(Seen at MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024)
It reminded me of Deerskin (2019) and The Bra (2018).
