Saul and the Sorceress(1997)

movie - first aired/released 1997-01-01

Directed by Jean-Louis Costes

After yet another fight with his girlfriend, a man obsessed with the biblical story of Saul flees halfway across the world to Saül, a town in the Amazonian jungle of French Guiana, gets drunk, and walks into the night with a machete. His wife follows and finds him too late. One of the director’s strangest and most mystical films. Domestic collapse becomes biblical fatalism: a man mistakes escape for destiny, and discovers love only as regret after repair proves impossible.
