Fresh off its screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, Raoul Peck's "Meurtre a Pacot" ("Murder in Pacot") will screen in the Panorama Program of the 2015 Berlin International Film Festival.
A drama of shakespearean proportions, "Meurtre a Pacot" utilizes one location to tell the story of a wealthy couple patching the crumbling pieces of their lies back together after the 2010 earthquake. I was there to screen the film in Toronto and can tell you the film was much anticipated and the lines for the Toronto screening snaked several blocks. Peck himself was present with the two stars of the film. In answering an audience question about why he seemed to show disdain for former U.S. President Bill Clinton in the film, Peck replied "You should see my documentary", a reference to his documentary titled "Assitance Mortelle" (Deadly Assistance).
