Le pull over rouge, 30 January 2007
Author: dbdumonteil

Michel Drach was the first to film this tragic true story of a young man sentenced to death and guillotined in 1976,if my memory serves me well.His movie called "le Pull Over Rouge" was so risqué for the time (death penalty was not yet abolished in France)that never a French channel showed it since.(satellite TV did however)

In this made-for -TV remake,the writers focus the action on the mother,her fight ,her suffering,her belief in her son's innocence (he's accused of a little girl's murder).Catherine Frot gives a restrained sensitive portrayal of this unfortunate mother,who was always afraid of losing her only son.(She had to leave a brutal alcoholic husband and she had to hide to keep him from abducting their son).

Of course ,we will never know the truth.But too many details are very strange and it's impossible to be sure .Anyway:

-Either Christian was guilty and a life sentence would have made him think of the horrible thing he had done ,alone in a cell...

-Or he was innocent (his last words to his mother were:"clear my name" )and is it what we call justice in the land of Voltaire and Hugo?
