Plot summary

France, 1893. Joseph Bouvier attempts to shoot his love who refused to marry him and to commit suicide. Upon release from the filthy asylum where he was placed, with bullets still remaining in his head, he wanders the country roads and rapes and murders many teenagers over years. The judge Rousseau captures him, but to serve his ambition seeks to avoid that Bouvier is simply declared insane.

NYT 1000 films. A bizarre story that has a unique perspective of senility and a Judges obsession on his case. It shows you some aspects of lunacy, but is this really a story that needs to be told? It did represent the time period well, but I started to lose interest in the characters. Saw on box.

This movie is inspired by an actual serial killer and his claims of insanity. The topic is great as it touches upon what makes one liable of a crime in a society. The characters are well crafted but the dialogue and overall interactions are just too long and tedious. The movie could be much better with better editing. It's just too long with all these back and forth dialogues that contribute nothing to the story, or very little. There are a few good moments including interesting points about social justice, but it's just a bit senseless and tortuous.
