Sortilèges

I didn't realize this job existed but Lucien Coëdel is the bellman. He rings the bell from a shack in the middle of nowhere in a snow covered zone in France which is prone to blizzards. His role is similar to that of a lighthouse keeper alerting passing strangers who may be in trouble to a safety zone. Only, he's not normal. A murder is committed outside his shack and whilst other villagers are accused the film follows a love triangle that seriously needs to be resolved.

The film scores for being different as it is set in and around a snowy French village. Two women have a love rivalry that makes things interesting and the bellman is always a bit unpredictable. However, the film is a bit slow and I lost interest. There are no surprises here which is a shame and the outcome is fairly obvious and a bit cheesy.
