Name: Les amants d'assises
Genre: Documentary
Duration: 1 h 26 min
Rating: 7.5

A man and a woman are accused of having killed the woman's husband.

The film maker interviews and films them along the process until they get condemned by the court.  This film is a documentary. Nevertheless the way it is filmed is very subjective and shows a very deep psychologic analysis.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
