If there was ever a movie you had to piece together yourself it's "Misericordia". It's the kind of movie Hitchcock might have made if he were gay and French, (think a more twisted "Rope" laced with a dose of "The Trouble with Harry"), but I doubt if even Hitchcock at his most contrary would have made anything as off-the-wall as this.
At the beginning if you join the dots you assume they will add up to...what? Only to find it going into places you didn't see coming as it gets progressively weirder by the minute and, I might add, surprisingly funny in a way that Hitchcock would definitely have appreciated. Of course, what the characters in "Misericordia" get up to may defy belief but as Mr. Hitchcock himself would have said, 'It's only a movie' but one you're unlikely to forget in a hurry.
