Opens March 28 | Jérémie returns to his hometown in southern France after the death of his former boss, the local bakery owner. Once there, he becomes a fixture in the community: cozying up to the baker’s wife, clashing with his volatile son Vincent, who is threatened by Jérémie’s lingering presence, and forming a bond with the cheerful local priest. But the tantalizing themes of love and death that fascinate Alain Guiraudie (STRANGER BY THE LAKE) are roiling under the placid surface, and when a moment of violence occurs, Guiraudie upends all genre expectations, revealing MISERICORDIA to be a darkly clever and unexpectedly humorous thriller.
