After Meurtres en Béarn or Meurtres à Pont-Aven, the successful collection of France 3 returns this Saturday, April 29 at 9:10 pm with a new opus called New Murders in Saint-Malo, which acts as a gift to the audience for the holiday . Ten years of “murders…”.
Launched on France 3 in April 2013, the “Meurtres à…” collection, which currently includes sixty TV films that can be watched independently, is based on very specific codes: each section is preceded by a different city or region. The investigation is linked to a legend or cultural work, and the duo of investigators, often antagonistic, are embodied by familiar faces to the audience.
For the first time, “The Killings…” is allowed to continue!
Initiated by Iris Bucher (Le Secret d’Elise, Les Combattantes) for Quad Drama, the “Meurtres à…” saga began ten years ago with a single called Meurtres à Saint-Malo, performed by Bruno Solo and Louise Mono.
And to celebrate this tenth anniversary, as it should be, France 3 Anne Holmes (Director of Fiction and Programs of Télévision France) and Iris Bucher had the idea to revisit this first part and offer a sequel!
A first in the history of “The Murders…”, since the DNA of the collection wants the characters and locations to be explored differently each time.
Ten years after the murders in Saint-Malo, Bruno Solo and Louise Mono return to the roles of Eric Vautier and Guvenael Garec, who we knew as the Chief Warden of the Gendarmerie and the Lieutenant of the Police, and which have evolved a lot since then. .
What is the price of this anniversary opus, which celebrates the 10th anniversary of the collection?
Years later, when her brother is arrested for the murders – a tragedy that forced her to abandon her career as a police officer – Gwen Garek finds herself in the middle of a criminal case again. He decides to investigate alongside the Gendarmerie with the help of his former colleague Vauthier, who is now retired.
Who controls this bloodthirsty dog that seems intent on destroying one of Falkland’s oldest families? Could Ronan (Baptiste Caio), Gwen’s former companion and the father of her child, who has been missing for days, be involved?
Gwen doesn’t believe it and will do anything to prove Ronan’s innocence. But Kassem (Marvan Beren) and Vassier (Chloe Stephan), the gendarmes officially in charge of the investigation, don’t see the intrusion well.
Bruno Solo (Vautier) and Louise Mono (Gareque) meet again ten years after the murders in St. Malo.
Still directed and written by Lionel Bailieu (with a script by Yann Le Gall), this new Murders in Saint-Malo should please fans of the first hour, as it contains several references to the first part of the adventures of Garec and Vauthier. .
Excellent as always, Bruno Solo and Louise Mono are once again a real asset to this well-crafted fic, which avoids the trap of falling into repetition and finds a rather clever way to bring the two protagonists back to square one. Always in this magnificent natural environment of Brittany. And effectively supports Marwan Beren (Plus belle la vie), who also manages to get out of the game.
Viewers who haven’t seen Meurtres à Saint-Malo shouldn’t find it difficult to get carried away by this sequel, which in any case tells the story of an investigation that is self-contained, with no real connection to the recent decade. And whose only downside is the absence of Aurelien Wieck (Munk), who was replaced by Baptiste Caio in the role of Ronan Delaland.
