Moi, Pierre Rivière, ayant égorgé ma mère, ma soeur et mon frère... (1976)

On June 3, 1835, Pierre Riviere, a young Norman peasant of twenty years, slaughtered at a bill-hook his mother, his sister Victoria and her younger brother Julius. He runs away and wanders into the woods for several weeks before being arrested. Just imprisoned murderer, that most witnesses describe as a boy to behave strangely, even in the guise of an idiot, started writing a thick memory, a text of astonishing beauty, a true autobiography in which he outlines the reasons that it led to his actions: his father delivering the "pains and afflictions" that he was subjected his wife from the first day of their marriage ... Monstrous criminal or "poor" crazy? The long debate between judges and psychiatrists. | Gönderen: Senfoni07
