I agree with most of the review done by realreel except for one point.
I did not see definitve evidence of who the killer was. Nor even what actually provoked the killing. However, I totally agree that is also not the point of the movie it is how the crime has touched other people that is the point.
Having only recently discovered works of the director, Bertrand Tavernier, and I am truly amazed by the movies he has created and now a big fan as well. I would also point out that many European movies have not been tainted by Hollywood's big buget happy ending style movies and tend to make more realistic movies about life.
Just tossing in my one thought. It is a movie everyone should get to see at least once.
