Saint-Pierre, town (1990 est. pop. 5,550), Martinique, West Indies. Founded by Esnambuc in 1635 and once the chief commercial city of the island, it was engulfed by a mass of flame, lava, and ash in the eruption (1902) of Pelée. Of the city's inhabitants (about 28,000), only one person survived, and many thousands more were killed in the surrounding region. The town's present activity revolves around tourists visiting the ruins. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The more coherently shaped, Seuls ensemble featured astragale's current quintet of performers Mireille Baril, Dominic Caron, Emilie LeBlanc, Jonathan Saint-Pierre and Sandrine Vachon. The Widow of Saint-Pierre is the latest from French director Patrice Leconte, a gloomy, muted piece of work that looks like penance for his having committed the spry comedy of last year's The Girl on the Bridge. |
