La Veuve De Saint-Pierre (The Widow of Saint-Pierre)

synopsis


The year is 1850. On Saint Pierre, a forgotten small island near Canada, Neel Auguste (Emir Kusturica) is found guilty of murder and condemned to death. But in Saint Pierre there is neither guillotine nor executioner to carry out the sentence. While waiting for a guillotine to arrive from France, Neel is placed under the custody of the captain (Daniel Auteuil) and his wife, Madame La (Juliette Binoche). She is particularly interested in Neel in whom she sees goodness and simplicity. Little by little the condemned man becomes indispensable and his popularity soars. But when the guillotine arrives by boat, justice must be done and the battle to save Neel's life escalates in this stylish period drama from French director Patrice Leconte.
