I Stand Alone

In this jarring character study, a 50-year-old Parisian referred to only as "the Butcher" (Philipe Nahon) tries to start his life over after spending time in prison for assaulting a man he believed raped his daughter. But after being fired from a job at a deli, the Butcher returns home to be reunited in a sleazy hotel with his abandoned daughter, contemplating thoughts of incest, murder, and suicide. Blandine Lenoir and Frankye Pain co-star in this disturbing journey, which features an explicit sex scene. 93 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles.
