ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT FILMS & SERIES IN THEATERS & AT HOME
Je verrai toujours vos visages, Jeanne Hery
Synopsis
Since 2014, in France, Restorative Justice offers victims and perpetrators of crime to dialogue in secure devices, supervised by professionals and volunteers like Judith, Fanny or Michel.
Nassim, Issa, and Thomas, convicted of robberies with violence, Grégoire, Nawelle and Sabine, victims of homejacking, robberies and snatching, but also Chloé, victim of incestuous rapes, are all involved in Restorative Justice measures.
On their journey, there is anger and hope, silences and words, alliances and tears, realizations and newfound confiance… And at the end of the road, sometimes, reparation…
The best choice?
Who of us doesn’t know a victim of sexual assault or robbery? If you were put in touch with your abuser? Would you accept it?
Prison has little effect and victims of sexual abuse or burglary sometimes never recover from the trauma they have suffered, despite their surroundings and despite therapy.
Restorative Justice measures have been offered since 2014 in France to victims of robbery, rape and perpetrators in order to dialogue in secure settings. These places are supervised by professionals and volunteers. Where so-called traditional methods fail, restorative justice finds its place.
As in Pupille, the director shows us the courageous work of the teams involved in setting up these procedures.
With an almost similar cast, Jeanne Hery reveals to us all that this method covers and its implications on human relations.
Just as she had done previously, the director documented and trained herself before moving on to the process of making the film.
Communication is at the heart of it.
Just as in adoption, where the mother had to talk to her baby to explain the process, the supervised verbal exchange allows victims and perpetrators to find a path to reconstruction and a new life.
Optimistic, the director believes in the collective and the two films she has made, between fiction and documentary – especially this one, make us want to follow her in this ideal.
The actors play just Élodie Bouchez, Gilles Lellouche, Leila Bekhti, Fred Testot, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Dali Benssalah. But we also feel that Jeanne Hery, wants to prove to the world what an extraordinary actress her mother, Miou Miou is. And this is the case in this film.
Jeanne Hery said: “….Et I also like to explore the good feelings. It is complex, good feelings. …The objective of restorative justice is the liberation of emotions through speech”… It is this liberation that I wanted to stage. “
A must-see.
Today in theaters.
