Misericordia

耶利米为了参加前上司、乡村面包师的葬礼回到家乡，却决定和这男人的妻子玛蒂娜相处几天。这时，一场神秘失踪案、一个令人惊惧的邻居和一位带有奇怪意图的牧师使耶利米在乡村的短暂停留发生了意想不到的转变……

Jérémie returns to his hometown for the funeral of his former boss, the village baker. He decides to stay for a few days with Martine, the man’s widow. A mysterious disappearance, a threatening neighbor and a priest with strange intentions make Jérémie’s short stay in the village take an unexpected turn…

当我正在写剧本时这个标题在我脑海里涌现。对我来说，“仁慈 ”超越了 “宽恕 ”的范畴。它与同理心有关，与超越道德理解他人有关。它关系到向他人伸出援手。它是一个我们不再过多使用的过气词语，但正是宽恕凭借着永恒性很好地成就了这部电影，并超出了电影中最棒的角色之一——牧师所蕴含的意义。

在这部影片中，我比在其他影片中更加努力地营造神秘感。我试图让观众提出问题并参与到故事中来。这是避免无聊、记录欲望的最好方式。对于我，这就是生活中最大的奥秘。你很快就会意识到，主人公留在这里是因为他想要某个人。即使整件事都在变化，他始终是欲望的客体。同时，我也对陌生人和他尚不清晰的意图所带来的困惑非常感兴趣。我喜欢这样一个事实，即我们不知道反派角色是谁，我们对自己所处的立场也一无所知。

我认为，如今我的电影观众对我有一些期待，他们或多或少能看出我的意图。我很清楚我几乎总是带着被期待的眼光兴致勃勃地致力于同样的问题和主题。但我也想给自己惊喜，给自己惊喜，使自己焕然一新。或许也是时候让欲望不再以性为结点了。我不知道是否有人说过这一点，但在我看来，人们习惯于拍摄打斗来避免拍摄性。从某种意义上说，我的想法恰恰相反。无论如何，在这里，欲望也并不明晰，我并不是在寻求结局，主角也在想象，观众也像主角一样，就像我一样（且仍将继续）。

在整部电影里潜在着一个真正的爱情故事。但是其中也有一份隐藏的爱情：耶利米对死者的爱，还有一个我就不在这里透露了，因为这会破坏影片的情节。但这其实是关于欲望的。我们的主人公处于欲望循环的中心，渐渐地，他发现自己成了这个村庄的囚徒。

The title came to me while I was writing this script. For me, mercy exceeds the question of forgiveness. It has to do with empathy, with understanding others beyond any morality. It’s about reaching out to others. It’s an old-fashioned word that we don’t use much anymore, and it becomes the film well, its timelessness, and above one of the great characters in it, namely the priest.

Here, even more than in my other films, I’ve worked hard to cultivate the mystery. I’ve tried to get the viewers to ask questions and take part in the story. It’s the best way of avoiding boredom, and transcribing desire. Which, for me, is life’s great mystery. You realise pretty quickly that the hero stays here because he wants someone. Even if the whole thing is shifting. He himself is the object of desire. And I’m also very interested in the confusion that this stranger and his unclear intentions can bring. I like the fact that we don’t know who the villain is, and we don’t really know which side we’re on.

I reckon that the viewers of my films expect a few things from me nowadays; they can see more or less where I’m going. I’m well aware that I’m almost always working on the same questions, the same motifs, and I play with that, with what’s expected of me. But I also want to surprise, to surprise myself, to renew myself. Perhaps it was also time for desire not to end in sex. I don’t know if anyone’s said this before, but it seems to me that people used to film fights to avoid filming sex. In a sense, I’m going in the opposite direction. In any case, here, desire isn’t clear either, I’m not looking for resolutions, there’s also a main character who imagines things, and so must the viewers, just as I have (and still do).

There’s a real love story underlying the whole film. But there are hidden ones as well: Jérémie’s love for the dead man, and another one I won’t reveal here, as it would spoil the film too much. But it’s really about desire. Our hero is at the centre of this circulation of desire, and little by little he finds himself a prisoner of this village.
