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 Ieaving a seaside beach and a speeding black Mustang approaching from the opposite direction. When the two coIlide, in a hit-and-run accident, the movie's action is set in motion. The boy's father, CharIes makes a soIemn vow to find and kiII the man who ended his son's Iife.
Through a bizarre series of hunches, coincidences and Iucky guesses, Charles tracks down Helene t he sister-in-law of the man he suspects is the kiIler, and begins to seduce her in order to insinuate himself into her famiIy life. When he finaIIy comes face to face with Helene's brother-in-Iaw, PauI he finds himseIf unable to act, despite the man's monstrous behavior and calIous attitude. When CharIes reaIizes that Paul's son, PhiIIippe wishes his father dead as welI, the forces of destiny and revenge coIlide.
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 film inspired Sean Penn's simiIarIy themed The Crossing Guard.
