    Don't read too many user comments. Just see it!
    I watched this on video without reading the plot summary on the video box (or the user comments here), and I highly recommend seeing it without knowing too much about the plot. It is a gripping, Hitchcockesque character portrayal that slowly builds great tension and a sense of foreboding. Let all the clever foreshadowing pique your imagination; the ending will be that much more effective.

    FAQ1

    • Why is the film called La cérémonie? Is it because of the ending?? I know its based of a book so it might be more explicit in there.I'll try to look into it but I would appreaciate any feedback.
