Much more than yet another detective yarn., 4 November 2002
10/10
Author: bros1935 from Stratford, CT, U.S.A.



Excellent crime drama, beautifully underplayed by Michel Piccoli and Romy Schneider. Good story with a beginning, a middle and a surprise ending. You'll think about this film for days afterwards and want to see it again. If you love movies, you'll love this one. It will make you want to see more of Claude Sautet's work. [I have not as yet].
