Saint Omer

Movie • 2022  

Report
A 30-something novelist named Rama attends the trial of Laurence Coly at the Saint-Omer Criminal Court. The latter is accused of killing her fifteen-month-old daughter by abandoning her on a beach in the north of France just as the tide was rising. Rama would like to use this story to write a modern-day adaptation of the ancient myth of Medea, but things don’t go as planned during the trial. Ultimately, it will be Rama’s relationship with motherhood which is called into question during this “huis clos” trial.

Not on-screen. Hard one to answer. A mother kills her child, nonviolently. It is not shown but obviously frequently discussed. There are scenes indicating that Rama's mother neglected her, but no physical abuse.

Just after the scene at the restaurant, we see Rama vomit (you can see and hear it)
