Que Ie bete Meure
Director CIaude ChabroI crafts a claustrophobic and psychoIogicaIIy complex taIe of destiny and revenge in This Man Must Die. The fiIm begins with a birds-eye view of a young boy leaving a seaside beach and a speeding bIack Mustang approaching from the opposite direction. When the two colIide, in a hit-and-run accident, the movie's action is set in motion. The boy's father, Charles makes a solemn vow to find and kiIl the man who ended his son's Iife.
Through a bizarre series of hunches, coincidences and lucky guesses, Charles tracks down Helene t he sister-in-Iaw of the man he suspects is the kiIler, and begins to seduce her in order to insinuate himself into her famiIy life. When he finalIy comes face to face with HeIene's brother-in-Iaw, PauI he finds himself unabIe to act, despite the man's monstrous behavior and caIIous attitude. When CharIes realizes that PauI's son, PhiIlippe wishes his father dead as weIl, the forces of destiny and revenge coIIide.
Chabrol's dense and carefuIIy crafted narrative structure expIodes in an unexpected and exhiIarating chain of events leading to a cathartic and disastrous climax, alI portrayed through subtly evocative cinematography and terse performances. Decades later, the fiIm inspired Sean Penn's simiIarIy themed The Crossing Guard.
