This article presents information on the motion picture "Humanité."The opening sequence reveals that a crime has been committed--a particularly revolting crime, a worst-case scenario. What's more, the film's central character is a police lieutenant, working in the Flanders town where the outrage occurred. But viewers who expect to see a mystery solved--a group that seems to include quite a few film critics--are simply not paying attention. The whole point of this strange, compelling, deeply impressive film is to avoid dividing humanity into two convenient categories, the innocent and the guilty.
