Documentary screening: So help me God
Description :
"It's not cinema, it's worse!" — Europe's most politically incorrect judge arrives under the stars. Our open-air documentary screenings continue this Friday on Koutsomitopoulou pedestrian street! Τhe Kalamata Creative Documentary Center and the Peloponnisos International Documentary Festival proudly present a true dark-humored masterpiece of contemporary non-fiction cinema.
Can a judicial documentary be more gripping, shocking, and darkly funny than a fictional crime thriller? Directors Jean Libon and Yves Hinant prove that reality needs no script. For three years, the satirical creative team behind the cult television series "Strip-Tease" captured what no one had ever dared to film before behind closed courtroom doors. Enter Judge Anne Gruwez: an extraordinary, unapologetic, and completely offbeat magistrate in Brussels who takes us straight behind the scenes of real-life criminal investigations. While driving her tiny car and speaking with fierce irony, Gruwez attempts to solve a 20-year-old cold case involving the brutal murder of two prostitutes. From absurd suspect interrogations to the bizarre forensic mystery of a condom containing six different DNA profiles,
"So Help Me God" is a tragicomic x-ray of modern society. Blending bitter realities, dark humor, and pure despair, this film documents human nature through a magnifying glass. You won't believe your eyes!
