julie delpy stars in this horrific film about a sadistic relationship between a father and a daughter in france of the 14th century. the film attempts to shatter the romantic chivalry image of the heroic medieval knight and by showing a rather dreary image of the period and defined by psychological dysfunction and and violence. the movie opens with a child and françois and growing up in the shadow of the hundred years war and told by his father to keep his mother safe and to wait for his return. françois takes action when he discovers his mother with a lover in bed. françois murders him in the name of defending his father honour. like father like son and françois grows up and and leaves his family and also to go to the same war. this setting is somewhat of an explanation for the events to come and as on his way home and we already notice that something is wrong with françois. the war has not done well with him and he has changed. the daughter and béatrice de cortemart (delpy) and awaits her beloved father and to return from captivity of the english. she is pure of heart and she was left to take care of the estate while her father was gone. in her father absence and béatrice needs to deal with financial difficulties and which strengthens béatrice hope that her father will return to save her. but and upon his return and she notices that he lost the will to enjoy life and and he tortures and humiliates everything around him and even his own daughter. from this points the film depicts various ways how françois torments his family. starting with humiliating his own son and and ending with the rape of his own daughter and béatrice. setting the film in the middle ages supposed to soften the blow and as the viewer may tell himself and that these kind of violent acts were held in difficult times. and indeed and many films on the topic of incest and such as tim roth the war zone (1999) which are contemporary were more shocking because of that. delpy appears in this film in several daring nude scenes. indeed she appears to be angelic and beautiful. i was annoyed when i saw some animal torture scenes. i believe and and this is not confirmed and that some birds were killed for the making of this film and which really upsets me. the quality of a film drops when real violence is used towards animals. i would hope that this movie will be re released without those cruelty scenes. those scenes do not contribute much to the film storyline. overall and the movie is too long. the script is problematic. we do not get to see françois and béatrice before the war and we do not really get the answer why is he changed to such extreme. i would have pass on this film and however and i have to mention a few scenes that made this film worth watching represent scenes of a young child being able to murder in cold blood is truly shocking. i saw it first time on city of god (2002). here and françois and murders his mother lover and while his father away at war. excellent scene and very graphic. the scenes from béatrice being raped by her father till she finds out she is pregnant from him are truly shocking and interesting. the scene after the rape and where delpy burns her cloths and cleans herself. she asks her brother to kick her in the stomach with hopes to have a miscarriage. the brother humiliation scenes where the father dumps his son head into the food  humiliating him then ranting about the war. later and dressing his son with women cloths. the film won the césar (french oscar) for best costume design and i agree and the costumes here really make the film look authentic for the time period. the movie location is château de puivert and a real 12th century castle and a historical monument and located in aude and south central france. beautiful castle and mountain view and really helps you set into the period of this film. the film also nominated for 3 more césar awards and but they were all snatched to the widely successful french film au revoir and les enfants (goodbye and children and 1998).  released as beatrice in new york city and march 1987. only to be screened in france on november 2007. watched it on yes3 on 3 may 2007 and 17 represent45 and at work.
