A lyrical film without words--but with an eclectic soundtrack featuring the music of Arvo Pärt and Mao--Emmanuel Laborie's adaptation of the novel by Charles-Ferdinada Ramuz (first adapted by Claude Goretta in 1965) focuses on the fatalistic Jean-Luc, a young man who feels overwhelmed by the violence of life and unable to deal with the complexity of human feeling...Jean-Luc Persecuted is an action film, a violent film, a film about love.
