after see this film and reading that it be a documentary soap base on a real case and i ask myself what understand we have of truth in visual or textual narrative . my first intuition be that in this film there be clichees put together in a stereotype way to tell a story with a conservative political message . just the counterpiece of the more commonly tell ( and likewise simplistic ) liberal story of the suppressed girl from the province and old fashion and educate with narrow mind moralist principle who move to a urban environment and develops unimagined quality and get famous and discovers sex etc . even if the story tell in the hunt for the unicorn killer be true in the sense that the director be inspire by an incident with structurally the same facts the way it be tell and be absolutely incredible . neither of the character really win any depth . the motif of the girl to stay with her friend who humiliate her and the motif for the friend to murder her out of jealoucy even if the film insinuate that he never love her stay obscure . the question why an explained pacifist kill her girl friend be answer in a too simplistic way and if the film suggest he be only have his idea to make himself interesting and to seduce girl . i think it be also problematic to make a piece of fiction and pretend it to be real keep the real name of person and place . people might no longer distinguish between what be the case and what be just invent to make the plot more interesting . i think truth in narrative be more about case be representative ( even if they be invent ) and tell in a way sophisticated enough to come close to the complexity of real life . i rate it negative .
