Review :

French death row depicted in anti-capital punishment movie

"Nous sommes tous assassins" or "We are all murderers" illustrates its anti-capital punishment theme by taking us inside a prison and inside the cells where prisoners condemned to be executed wait and live in fear. The movie doesn't preach. It depicts. Its indictment of capital punishment is mostly indirect. It goes beyond the inhumane aspects. The men who are the murderers and being murdered in the name of social order are, in one way or another, shown as pitiable wretches, unfortunates, misfits. For this reason, it is difficult to see that the threats they pose to social order demand execution. On the other hand, it is far from clear that lengthy imprisonment solves the basic problem of criminal actions.

Those involved within the system, the guards, the chaplains, the doctors, the officials, can't do anything about it. Society grinds on.

This movie is worth seeing, but it's not a classic. Every so often, a scene or a part of a scene rises to excellence, but too many times the screenplay doesn't gel. It may be that badly translated subtitles are partly responsible. The movie is only occasionally gripping, but does have its moments. Mostly one feels as if one is at a distance watching the torment of the prisoners. The dramatization is not top quality. It simply doesn't click the way it should. However, it has some outstanding moments when it focuses on the inmates as they are led to their executions. And Raymond Pellegrin is memorable, he's so neurotic and jumpy.
