Retour à Malaveil

War son

Part of a TV series called &quot;Haute Tension&quot; ,&quot; Retour A Malaveil&quot; is a good MTV movie on its own.It tells the story of a young man who has served 12 years for something he &apos;s never done.He is back to his native village (Malaveil),with only one aim in view:to unmask the real culprit. Then begins a tale of hate which blends present and past and will almost lead the innocent boy to madness.

In 1944,the country was set free:then &quot;resistant fighters&quot; turned up as the work was almost finished and &quot;punished&quot; the collaborators .Twenty years later,those events sparked off another tragedy.You will guess the &quot;whodunit&quot; long before the ending but the screenplay is well constructed and the director makes a good use of color(present) and black and white (past) .Besides ,the two Françoise (Christophe and Fabian) are excellent actresses and give their characters substance.
