Stafford Film Theatre: Saint Omer
SAINT OMER
Alice Diop / France / 123 min / Cert 12A / Subtitles
Rama, a successful writer, observes a court case in the French town of Saint Omer, where the defendant, Laurence, stands accused of killing her own infant daughter. We hear from Laurence, the lawyers and several witnesses; contradictions of the testimonies of each witness take us further and further away from knowable truth. Winning 14 awards and based on an actual case, this fiercely intelligent and engrossing film will continue to haunt your thoughts. 'Diop's careful direction allows the elegant dialogue to soar', (Sight and Sound); ' . . . delivered with astonishing clarity' (Empire).
