Je verrai toujours vos visages is part of a recent wave of French cinema that sheds light on the public institutions’ efforts to heal woes in society and help the vulnerable. Basically, the “Fraternité” in the French Republic motto “Liberté – Egalité – Fraternité.” Also, this is the first film on restorative justice (a program that bonds criminals and victims in order for criminals to become aware of the harm they inflicted, feel remorse and change), and it is a real eye-opener. You may have read the plot. You may be concerned that the movie is too emotionally heavy. That life is already painful and you are not in the mood for a movie tackling an issue so serious. Rest assured: the movie is not all suffering. Go for it. You will learn something or two, including the value of compassion.
