Mark of an Angel

France   Catherine Frot, Sandrine Bonnaire

At the end of this film appears a legend that it was taken from a true event. This story is so not believable that without that note I would have dismissed it as nonsense in spite of the fine acting by the two leads and overall professionalism of the production.

Ths filmmaker steered us in several false directions...first it seemed creepy, then a thriller, then perhaps a threatened-child story. The ultimate resolution was a skillfully handled surprise. 

Could it happen? Beats me. They say it did.
