L'Humanité (VHS only)

In a small, close-knit community in North East France, an 11 year old girl has been raped and murdered. On the hunt for the killer is Police detective De Winter, an awkward, shy introvert who maintains a close and voyeuristic relationship with his neighbour and her boyfriend. An almost child-like innocent, De Winter is appalled by not only the crime, but the monstrousness of human behaviour. “L' Humanité is one of the best films of the last ten years” Mark Cousins, Sight and Sound
