On Monday, September 10, 2012 \u2014 after 47 years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her perverse, out-of-control husband \u2014 Jacqueline Sauvage loaded three shells into a shotgun and shot Mr. Sauvage as many times in the back. Finally. It was the end of one kind of hell and the beginning of another. And gave rise to a murder trial that garnered massive media coverage, controversy and a public outcry against domestic violence in France in the years that followed. Olivier Marchal is spot-on as Jacqueline\u2019s abusive husband. Muriel Robin turns in a steely, complex performance in the title role of this harrowing, true-life tale of silent suffering, unspeakable shame and pent-up rage. But she never plays \u201cthe victim.\u201d Rather, the film portrays Jacqueline as a fiercely devoted mother, prepared to endure almost anything to spare her children from the nightmare that had become her reality. If only that were possible…<\/p>\n

Director Yves R\u00e9nier\u00a0<\/b>began his career as an actor in 1961, performing in some 60 films, TV series and plays, and under the direction of such luminaries as Diane Kurys (Peppermint Soda\u00a0<\/i>– COLCOA 2018), Roman Polanski (Frantic<\/i>), Patrice Ch\u00e9reau (The Massacre at Paris<\/i>) and Bertrand Blier (Merci la vie<\/i>). However, his most beloved and well-known role was as Commissaire Moulin in the highly successful series of the same name, which ran from 1976 through 1982. When the series was brought back in 1989, he moved behind the camera, writing and directing several episodes and keeping the series alive until 2008. Since then, he has directed four TV movies, including\u00a0M\u00e9decin-chef de la Sant\u00e9<\/i>,\u00a0Just a Cop\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0I Just Wanted to Go Home<\/i>, all starring Mathilde Seigner.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_padding_divider size=”30″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/tv.jpg” image_size=”full” align=”center”][mk_padding_divider][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#b41e34″][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/jacqueline_sauvage_c_etait_lui_ou_moi.jpg” image_size=”full” align=”center”][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1566586013915{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
