Movie Reviews of Genealogies of a Crime
Movie Review: Interesting, very interesting
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie on television about a hundred thousand times, because each time, I find myself being recaptivated by it. Of course, I have a very limited knowledge of the people behind it, other than Catherine Deneuve and Michel Piccoli, but I still liked it a lot. It involves the story of a psychiatrist (Deneuve) who gets guardianship over her orphaned nephew, only to be murdered by him ten years later. After the murder, Deneuve comes back to portray the lawyer defending the boy on his charge for murder. From there, she learns of his aunt's psycoanalysis group, meets a witness (Piccoli), and learns of the aunt's former psycoanalysis of her own nephew. I have to say, the movie is extremely interesting, and yet haunting by the boy's character and his mysterious life. It really delves into what some people think is impossible, the whole time, referring itself to a somewhat old story based on the same priciples of the recent one. Then, there is Deneuve, who gets so disguised by both roles, that you are enchanted by her trust, intelligence, and agonizing curiosity. Good movie.
