Description
 
This is a region-free DVD+R without case or artwork.

In French with English subtitles. Also known as The Farm of Seven Sins.

Set during the Napoleonic era, La Ferme des Sept Péchés begins with an actual incident: the death of obscure French pamphleteer Paul-Louis Courier. Through a complicated series of flashbacks and flashforwards (a la Citizen Kane), Courier's life story unfolds before the audience's eyes. The Courier character is played by Jacques Dumesnil, whose awesome task it is to bring dozens of contrary personality traits together into one creditable performance. The maiden effort of filmmaker Jean Devaivre, La Ferme des Sept Péchés won first prize at the Locarno Film Festival.

Reviewer: Carl Hinrichs from 205 S Beech St.,Fleetwood, PA. United States  
An historical whodunit set on a farm in a small village in France in the 1820's during the restoration period. The owner of the farm,and the murder victim,Louis Courier,is a political figure who is a prolific writer of pamphlets and manifestos espousing Republican ideals. The wide array of things,attitudes,and characters,and the varying perspectives in which Courier is viewed by others make this a uniquely fascinating and extraordinary film.
