Title: humanite missing
Review: This story of the murder of an 11 year old girl has all the elements, a horrible crime, the sullen, moody loner detective, the gray backdrop of northern france, conflicted sexual identity. The elements however were never really put together. The Detective broods more than detects. Is it because he is ground down by shock and tragedy, well we didn't find out. Speaking of shock, we did get quite a bit of that but one wondered if certain explicit scenes were put in for shock value alone. i.e fine acting or the Director acting out. The movie is not so disapointing that it should not be seen however. Serious fans of French cinema will want to see the film and think about what a great film it could have been.
