	Généalogies d'un crime (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The notion here is that the story captures the person and changes her, not the other way around.
		So if you want to know anyone, you need to know the genealogy of their story.
		In watching this, the characters are attached to stories, not to bodies.

	Film Scouts Reviews: Généalogies d'un crime (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		With the patrician glory of Catherine Deneuve to work with in "Geneologies of a Crime," he decides to use her both as the investigator, the victim and the avenger.
		That the young man she saves from prison should fall in love with her is perfectly credible; that she invests so much of herself in him is a tribute to Deneuve's acting ability.
		Deneuve is quite probably the key to Ruiz's success in "Geneaologies of a Crime," since he admits quite cheerfully that her response to his first script was to tell him to cut it.

		Genealogies of a Crime, directed by Raoul Ruiz and brought to Dallas by the USA Film Festival, may be just the movie you need: First of all, it stars Catherine Deneuve in not one but two roles, and it has that old fl-and-white movie feel about it, without actually being in fl and white.
		The plot is based on a true story that took place in pre-World War II Vienna: Hermine Hellmut van Hug, a child analyst, believes she has detected homicidal tendencies in her 5-year-old nephew.
		At last, the boy commits the crime she had long anticipated: He kills her...

	'Genealogies of a Crime': Complex Fantasy With a Load of What-Ifs
		Before "Genealogies" has coursed through its circular narrative, there have been many more deaths: a fatal heart attack, a mass suicide and several violent homicides.
		One way of seeing "Genealogies of a Crime" is as a humorous meditation on the moviegoing experience itself.
		For "Genealogies of a Crime" stands back from its story just far enough to keep you from surrendering your objectivity and swooning into the action.

	MMI Movie Review: Genealogies of A Crime (Genealogies D'un Crime) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The French film "Genealogies of A Crime" plays out a maddening drama with such satire and fl humor that you never know whether to recoil in horror or to laugh.
		Director Raul Ruiz along with his co-writer Pascal Bonitzer center the film on actual events of a Viennese child psychologist who said that our personalities were developed by the time we turned five.
		The film is perfect for Catherine Deneuve fans who loved her in Roman Polanski's "Repulsion" and Luis Brunuel's "Tristana." Like the Addams Family meets Lars Von Trier's "The Kingdom," "Genealogies of a Crime" is a hilarious yet disturbing comedy with a gothic tone.

	Genealogies Of A Crime \| The A.V. Club
		Genealogies Of A Crime is a fine rebuff to those who believe movies just aren't weird anymore.
		A nature vs. nurture debate runs throughout, implying all along that Poupaud was destined for a life of crime at birth, and director Raúl Ruiz raises issues of reincarnation and retribution, as well.
		Despite the presence of quirky characters and tantalizing allusions to mysterious orgies of the mind and body, Genealogies Of A Crime is a tedious, repetitive, frustrating failure.

	Raoul Ruiz
		However, as the bizarre story unfolds, his new benefactor (and lover) is revealed to be the ghost of his victim who had reassumed a physical form in order to be able to exact retribution on her cold-blooded murderer.
		Raoul Ruiz creates a deliriously irreverent, exquisitely intricate, and modern-day comic fable on predestiny, human will, and folly of manipulative (and exploitive) psychological study in Genealogies of a Crime.
		In the end, it is Ruiz's sophisticated, intelligent, and infectiously playful anti-intellectualism that transforms the seemingly rote psychological drama on instinctuality and compulsion into a sublime and effervescent exposition on the interconnection between art and life, the foibles of rationalized, amoral behavior, and the innate recursiveness of human history.

		At her son's funeral, after his car accident, Solange (Catherine Deneuve), a defense lawyer who never won a case and is famous for taking on lost causes, agrees to defend René (Melvil Poupaud), a young man her son's age, accused of murdering his wealthy Aunt Jeanne (also played by Deneuve).
		The aunt was a warped psychiatrist who raised him as a child and was of the opinion from infancy that he was destined for a life of crime.
		Through a series of flashbacks within flashbacks we're shown Rene's crime several times from a number of perspectives, which ultimately makes everything we were told before seem more questionable.

	village voice > screens > Genealogies of a Crime by Dennis Lim
		One of Raul Ruiz's more penetrable Chinese boxes, this poker-faced 1997 meta-mystery—as much shaggy-dog story as intellectual prank—is based on the true, turn-of-the-century story of a psychoanalyst who detected homicidal tendencies in her young nephew and was eventually murdered by him.
		A cursory investigation implicates the Franco-Belgian Psychoanalytic Society (!), a legion of kooks (led by a spirited Michel Piccoli) whose therapy sessions constitute the ritual stagings of elaborate tableaux vivant.
		As the latticework of overlapping fictions gets more complicated, non sequiturs, word games, and surrealist goofs pile up—most amusingly an ethnopsychologist who spouts nonsense literary analogies ("Paul Auster without New York," he muses, inspecting the decor of a law office).

	"Genealogies' is just a tad mad
		"GENEALOGIES of a Crime" is a spooky French film by writer-director Raoul Ruiz ("Three Lives and Only One Death").
		But "Genealogies" inadvertently is also about the flaccidity of modern film.
		With French film ever placing itself in the vanguard of self-analysis, the movie is one of those overly self-conscious treatises on the meaning of life, truth and other verities.

		Raul Ruiz directed this typically eccentric look at the nature of crime, the human mind, and life in the modern world.
		Her latest lost cause is Rene (Melvil Poupaud), a young man on trial for murdering his Aunt Jeanne (also played by Deneuve), a cruel psychiatrist who raised him as a child and was convinced from infancy that he was destined for a life of crime.
		Through a series of layered flashbacks, we're shown Rene's crime several times from a number of perspectives, which ultimately makes his actions seem more vague with each repetition.

		Midway through Genealogies of a Crime, Solange (Catherine Deneuve), a lawyer famed for never winning a case due to her preference for handling lost causes, has lunch with her dotty mother (Monique Melinand) at the latter’s flat.
		In Genealogies of a Crime stories and ideas have a life of their own; it is they that control bodies, not people.
		His colleague and rival, Georges Didier (Michel Piccoli) is likewise afflicted with a memory disorder that causes him to forget peoples’ faces.

	Film & TV: Boston Phoenix Movie Clips (The Boston Phoenix . 05-26-98)
		The late Marcello Mastroianni put his name on Ruiz's previous film, Three Lives and Only One Death; now Catherine Deneuve graces his latest.
		Genealogies of a Crime is Ruiz's most conventional and polished work to date, but with his drolly surreal tropes, puckish obsessions, and the numinous presence of Deneuve, it may also be his most engaging and subversive.
		Deneuve (evoking her performances in both Repulsion and Belle de Jour) plays Solange, a Parisian defense lawyer who takes on as a client a teenage murder suspect.

	VH1.com : Movies : Genealogies of a Crime : Review
		Drawing from an actual incident, artistically audacious director Raúl Ruiz and writer Pascal Bonitzer turn a story of psychoanalysis gone awry into a labyrinthine psychological mystery in Genealogies of a Crime.
		flashbacks within flashbacks, multiple renditions of the alleged crime of le monstre, and surreal, voyeuristic compositions, Ruiz skewers psychoanalysis' excesses in a narrative mind-bender that takes on such heady topics as nature vs. nurture, repetition-compulsion, and the nature of certainty.
		Though some critics were put off by Ruiz's pretensions, others deemed Genealogies of a Crime a beautifully shot and acted intellectual game, with Deneuve channeling an eerie psychosis reminiscent of her work with Roman Polanski and Luis Buñuel.
