La Maman du Bourreau plot

Gabrielle de Miremont is a wealthy octogenarian from the bourgeoisie. Her motto is: 'Never show emotions, they must be hidden at all times'. However, that changes on the morning that a gendarme comes to her to report the death of her beloved son, Father Pierre-Marie. Gabrielle does not let herself go immediately... until the gendarme has left the house. She collapses, but - despite the grief - quickly tries to pull herself together. She also decides to set up an investigation into Pierre-Marie's death herself. A month earlier, a case about paedophile priests had been reported in the press. Could this have something to do with his death?

She made her big film debut in 1969 in Rohmer's "Ma Nuit chez Maude," and almost 60 years later, Marie-Christine Barrault proves that she belongs to those actresses who cannot let go of acting.

In this "La Maman du Bourreau," she proves she still masters her role, a role that fits within the drama of pedophilia in the Church.

Many facets of the suffering caused by this distasteful event are addressed in this film, often explored in great depth and with various reservations, which, in my opinion, lends the film's ending a little too much sentimentality.

I didn't think it was necessary. The consequences of the unforgivable actions were already abundantly clear.
