Synopsis

In 1975, director Nicolas Philibert (ÊTRE ET AVOIR) was a young assistant to filmmaker René Allio. Together, they made MOI, PIERRE RIVIÈRE, AYANT ÉGORGÉ MA MÈRE, MA SOEUR ET MON FRÈRÉ (I, PIERRE RIVIÈRE, HAVING CUT THE THROAT OF 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 RIVIÈRE 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, the present time, and the 19th century - Philibert creates yet another captivating documentary.
