Murder in Pacot

A middle-class couple struggling to rebuild their lives amid the devastation of the 2010 Haitian earthquake rent part of their mansion to a white foreign aid worker and his vivaciously seductive local girlfriend. Widely acclaimed on the festival circuit, this beautifully acted, darkly engrossing drama – co-scripted by Pascal Bonitzer – is a creative revisiting of Pasolini’s Theorem and companion piece to Peck’s documentary Fatal Assistance.
