''Murder in Pacot'' ((フランス語:Meurtre à Pacot), (ドイツ語:Mord in Haiti)) is feature film by Haitian film director Raoul Peck. The film stars Joy Olasunmibo Ogunmakin, Alex Descas, Thibault Vinçon, and Lovely Kermonde Fifi and is a continuation of the theme Peck featured in his last documentary, ''Assistance Mortelle'' (''Fatal Assistance''), on international aid to Haiti following the earthquake of 12 January 2010 which opened at New York's Film Society of Lincoln Center in February 2014. The lead producers of the joint Haitan, French and Norwegian production were Peck and Remi Grellety.〔(Raoul Peck’s Newest Film, “Murder in Pacot,” Is a Mystery Set in Haiti )〕 The story, a traditional stranger-comes-to-town plot line examining how the earthquake upended Haiti's strongly divided class system, is loosely inspired by the 1968 mystery ''Teorema'' by Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini. In that screenplay, which Pasolini adapted from his own novel, a mysterious stranger, played by Terence Stamp, intrudes an Italian family and seduces every member of the household before leaving as suddenly and mysterious as he came. The shooting location of Peck's film, a three level villa, lies in the already completely rebuild neighbourhood Pacot in Port-au-Prince. The first ideas for the film came when Peck drove daily through that wealthy area while shooting the documentary ''Assistance Mortelle'' seeing that the rich were equally affected by the earthquake.〔 Peck stated that he wanted to approach the serious consequences of the disaster in another way than the usual images of slums and homeless camps. He was struck by seeing the collapsed homes of the prosperous class, the amazing visual of wealth in ruins. By mid-May 2014 the film was ready for editing and according to director Peck is expected to finish by September to be announced at the Toronto International Film Festival or the Venice Film Festival〔 and released end of 2014. The film made its world premier at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival where it is a Masters selection〔( Toronto International Film Festival: Masters » Murder in Pacot )〕 and was shown on 5 September 2014 at the Isabel Bader Theatre.〔(2014 Official Film Schedule )〕 The film was shown in the Panorama category of the 65th Berlin International Film Festival and its European premiere was on 7 February 2015 at the CUBIX cinema at Alexanderplatz.〔(Panorama 2015: Geschichte erzählen, um Zukunft zu gestalten )〕〔(BERLINALE 2015: les premiers films de la section Panorama )〕 Director Raoul Peck, producer Remi Grellety and the leading actors attended the second screening at the Zoo Palast on 10 February after a photocall and press conference at the Grand Hyatt hotel. The Swiss premiere takes place at the International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights (FIFDH) in Geneva on the 1 March 2015. The film is part of the 'Fiction and Human Rights Competition'.〔(International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights, 2015 Program )〕 In April 2015 the film will be shown at the 34th International Istanbul Film Festival.〔(From Berlinale to Istanbul Film Fest )〕 The international sales of the film are handled by Doc&Film.〔(Doc&Film International Fall 2014 line up )〕 ==Plot== An upper middle class affluent couple in Port-au-Prince, Haïti, tries to rebuild their lives after the earthquake of 2010. They live in the ruins of their luxury home which was almost completely destroyed, in the district Pacot. The tension is even greater because their young adopted son is also missing. Shortly after the earthquake they are visited by a team of foreign experts which tell them to repair the house or it will be razed. In order to earn some money for the repair they move to the previous servants' quarters and rent out the only still-intact room to Alex a foreign aid worker of unspecified nationality. The tenant, who came with good intentions to Haiti, meets soon a beautiful and naive 17-year-old Haitian girl, Andrémise, from a modest background who lives in the neighbourhood. To the couples surprise he moves in together with this sassy and enterprising young woman, who calls herself Jennifer to attract foreign men. They forge a relationship but soon her maliciousness comes to light and someone gets killed. The once privileged and now helpless and defenseless owners are for the first time faced with the rigid contradictions of Haitian society.〔〔〔〔(Meurtre à Pacot au Festival de Toronto )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Murder in Pacot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
