Courtesy Janus Films
Alain Guiraudie’s MISERICORDIA is set to make its SVOD debut next week, arriving on The Criterion Channel on June 10th, 2025, at 8p ET. The film world premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival before launching in US theaters on March 21st, 2025. It will also be available for sale and rental on VOD and digital platforms on June 10th.
Misericordia is written and directed by Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake), and stars Félix Kysyl, Jean-Baptiste Durand, Jacques Develay, and Catherine Frot.
Set in an autumnal, woodsy village in Occitanie, Guiraudie’s latest follows the meandering exploits of Jérémie (Félix Kysyl), an out-of-work baker who has drifted back to his hometown after the death of his beloved former boss, a bakery owner. Staying long after the funeral, the seemingly benign Jérémie begins to casually insinuate himself into his mentor’s family, including his kind-hearted widow (Catherine Frot) and venomously angry son (Jean-Baptiste Durand), while making an increasingly surprising—and ultimately beneficial—friendship with an oddly cheerful local priest (Jacques Develay).
