The village, 27 January 2007
Author:
dbdumonteil
Etienne Périer was a poor man's Clouzot,a two -bit Chabrol (Chabrol had
a small part in his "Un Meurtre est un Meurtre" (1972))."Meutre en 45
tours"(1960) was a failed attempt to capitalize on the success of "Les
Diaboliques" .
"Un Si Joli Village" is arguably his best film.Inspired by a widely
talked about criminal affair (Bruay-en Artois),Périer managed to
sustain the interest throughout the whole movie.
Stephane (Victor Lanoux) is the mayor of a small village ;he is also
the manager of the tannery which provides the inhabitants with work.In
a fit of anger ,he kills his wife (Edith Scob).A judge (Jean Carmet)
tries to prove his culpability ,but it's not an easy task ,because
there is a political and social pressure.
Périer dutifully stepped into André Cayatte's shoes,but his work is
worthwhile.
