This Man Must Die

Synopsis

In his adaptation of a Nicholas Blake novel, Chabrol tells a dark and compelling story in This Man Must Die. A young boy is killed in a hit-and-run. His father, Charles, an author of children’s books and a widower, dedicates his life to finding the killer. A man of few words, Charles keeps his violent and obsessive thoughts in his diary. When he finally finds the guilty driver, and when the driver is killed, his diary becomes the only evidence against him. Did he really do it? Two people end up confessing, but the truth is never told and the audience never gets closure because Charbol cleverly preserves the mystery by keeping the murder off camera.
