Excellent French film about social and personal guilt. A couple start to receive surveillance videos of their house. Who is it and what’s going on?. It all ties into the husband’s experience as a spoiled young boy, and that, in turn, ties into France’s horrific past of mass murder of Algerians, and that, in turn speaks to both Iraq and how we relate to our children today. It’s a very good film with fine performances and enormous and intentional levels of ambiguity built into the film. See the fine, if sometimes pretentious, interview with the director/auteur, who speaks to the issue of ambiguity, film, and history. See this one
