Sony Pictures; Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz
Rated R; 106 minutes; 2000
 
In the small town of Guernon in the French Alps Pierre Niemans (Reno), a veteran criminologist arrives to investigate a gruesome murder of a University librarian. Soon after his arrival, more bodies are found and he eventually crosses paths with a lieutenant from a nearby town investigating the desecration of a young girl's grave by Neo-Nazi's. He joins Niemans' investigation when other elaborately mutilated bodies are discovered. Niemans is as much of a mystery as the case he is solving and his delving into the dark secrets of the small town make for a dark, stylish French thriller. This gory noir is not for the faint of heart.

In French with English subtitles.
