Cannes 2014

Alleluia, the new film by Belgian director Fabrice du Welz, takes part in this year’s Directors’ Fortnight (15-25 May), the independent section of the Cannes Film Festival. The film was shot by Manu Dacosse.

Alleluia is du Welz’s fourth film after Calvaire,Vinyan and Colt 45. Although situated once more in the Belgian Ardennes, the story is loosely inspired by a news item that shook the United States from 1947 till 1949, which later served as inspiration for various books and film adaptations including Leonard Kastle’s The Honeymoon Killers. It’s the history of Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez or how a young nurse and a small-time swindler fall into a deadly tragedy.
