"By the Blood of Others"
1973
Directed by Marc Simenon

Directed by Marc Simenon, the son of the famous mystery novelist, with Mariangela Melato. In a small village, a deranged man is holding two women hostage in an abandoned farmhouse. The whole village faces the problem of how to free the women without spilling blood. More than just a tense mystery, the film is an acute study of moral responsibility and a detailed picture of small-town French provincial life. French with English subtitles.  90 minutes.
