L'HUMANITÉ

Bruno Dumont's critically acclaimed,
award-winning, and hauntingly powerful
film follows the investigation into the
brutal rape and murder of an 11 year old
girl in a small town in North-East France.
On the hunt for the killer is police detec-
tive Pharaon de Winter (Cannes Best
Actor winner Emmanuel Schotté), who is
appalled not only by the crime, but the
monstrousness of human behaviour.

An introverted, almost child-like innocent, deWinter draws strength from his close, somewhat
voyeuristic relationship with his neighbour Domino (Cannes Best Actress winner Séverine Caneele) and her volatile boyfriend (Philippe Tullier). One of the most startlingly original, daring and controversial films of recent times, 'L'Humanité' is a stark and visionary portrait of human nature, suffering and compassion.
