We Are All Murderers

Originally titled Nous Sommes Tout des Assassins, this film was directed by André Cayatte, a former lawyer who opposed France's execution system. Charles Spaak's screenplay presents four hardened murderers without excusing their crimes, yet condemns the sadistic ritual that brings them to the guillotine. In France, condemned men were never told when execution would occur; they were seized without warning and dragged to their deaths. The film left audiences feeling dehumanized and was criticized by French law enforcement, but it won a special jury prize at the 1952 Cannes Film Festival.
