Misericordia

The teasingly entwined ambiguities of love and death continue to fascinate Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake, NYFF51), who returns at the top of his game with a sharp, sinister, slyly funny thriller about a young man who returns to his small hometown in rural France and insinuates himself into the lives of a series of acquaintances.

Q&A with Alain Guiraudie: Friday, March 21 at 6:15pm

Carson Lund’s poignant and gracefully accomplished debut feature lovingly nestles in with a pair of amateur recreation league baseball teams as they play one last game at their beloved Soldiers Field before it’s torn down.
