Review: Merel is a young girl with a lot of talent. She excels at school, is good on the springboard and is careful too. Her severely handicapped brother Kasper gets a lot of attention. Merel also has talent for singing. It is no surprise that she is asked for the school musical. But maybe Merel is a bit too convinced of herself. When people perform solos, she likes to sing along loudly. This doesn't fall on good ground though. People start ignoring her and she is getting bullied. All of the sudden Merel's life isn't that easy anymore, it will be hard to keep herself together. - IMDb

L'ombre du doute

IMDb 6.2/10  (179)

Year: 1993
Country: France
Actors and Actresses: Sandrine Blancke, Luis Issermann
Review: A SHADOW OF DOUBT is a sensitive exploration of how society deals with incest. Despite the intensity of the subject matter, this psychological drama is remarkably restrained and the camera work by Darius Khondji produces an astonishingly beautiful piece of cinema. Alexandrine, aged 12, is a polite and timid child, and apparently the only witness to a crime she can hardly bring herself to describe. When she does, her accusation is denied by her father and undermined by her unsympathetic mother and her confidence shaken by the intolerable pressure of a legal system that does not believe in the word of children. Although this is a fictional account, it is based on Issermann’s research and has all the qualities of a true story as it deals with not only the child’s perception but also the thoughts of the mother, the father and the system.
Winner of two awards at the 1993 Venice Film Festival - the CIAK Awards for Best Film and Best Actress (for Sandrine Blancke). - www.roninfilms.com.au
