“The Widow of Saint-Pierre” (2000; starring Juliette Binoche and Daniel Auteuil, in French with English subtitles).

This movie is a departure of sorts, since, for once, being liberal has
severe consequences, as a French army captain/jail warden and his wife
find out on a remote, French island (Saint-Pierre) located off of
Newfoundland in 1849-1850. They get too friendly with a condemned
murderer who will soon face the guillotine. In the end, they pay
dearly for that. It’s based on a true story, by the way. With no
negroes, Mexicans or queers, and some good acting and scenery, this
movie is better than average, despite any liberal messages within it.
It’s available on DVD."
