MURDER IN PACOT/MEURTRE À PACOT (Raoul Peck 2014)

Another thing altogether. Too long, symbolism too obvious, but packs a wallop andway, with excellent actors and a sense of range and danger only a Haitian recreating the week after the 2010 earthquake could feel.Focus on a ravaged rich person's house a fresh outlook. The social leveling proves illusory though. Claire Denis regular Alex Descas, the fascinating Thibault Vinçon of Poisonous Friends (NYFF 2006), and great newcomers Lovely Kermode Fifi and Joy O. Ogunmakin.
