Style over substance, 9 June 2008
5/10
Author: TrevorAclea from London, England

La Combat Dans L'Ile/Fire and Ice is a minor nouvelle vague political thriller from Alan Cavalier, who became overshadowed by his collaborators on this film, Louis Malle and Jean-Paul Rappeneau. It's an okay romantic triangle of sorts, with Romy Schneider transferring her affections from Jean-Louis Trintignant's spoiled right wing terrorist to Henri Serre's left-wing printer, leading to a rather silly duel.

It's dated better than most NV films of its day, but still has the mixture of shallow content and unconvincing storytelling that is less import than the style of film-making.
