SAINT OMER is a French drama in which a writer sits in on the trial of a woman accused of murdering her daughter.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k').
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a brief, undetailed reference to female genital mutilation. A woman is accused of lying to her partner, saying that she had an illness which prevented her from getting pregnant.
theme
There are upsetting scenes, including multiple instances in which characters discuss the murder of a fifteen month old child, who was drowned in the sea and whose body washed up on the sand. References are made to a character's poor mental health, and it is implied that as a result of this, the character experienced bouts of depression and nightmarish visions. Characters discuss a mutually abusive romantic relationship, in which a woman hid her pregnancy from her partner, whilst he tried to hide their relationship entirely from others. There are implied references to poor treatment a woman received from her mother as a child.
additional issues
Discriminatory remarks are made, including a professor's assertion that a Senegalese woman should research something closer to her own culture rather than an Austrian philosopher. There are sex references, including a woman enquiring about a couple's lack of use of contraception. In scenes from a film, it is implied a woman murders her two sons. There is fleeting sight of blood on the clothes of a character. Characters smoke cigarettes.
