Knacker, 5 December 2009

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A desperate movie ,which was greeted by a poor reception by the audience ,although it was hailed by some critics.Its absolute blackness was almost an anomaly in the early nineties.It's also one of the rare movies (like some of Maurice Pialat)which does not take place in a well-meaning milieu.

Fabrice is a knacker ;he's got three women in his life: two mistresses and one wife.Fabrice is a right-wing mediocre man even if he is not interested in politics(he is a sadistic man,he supports death penalty).He's selfish , possessive,violent.He did never feel any love for any of his women.He finds his pleasure in bike riding ,his way to escape from his second-rate position..But do not the title fool you;there's no competition,no will to become a champion.

Fabrice is a solitary man and he shows himself so in his monologues.Another great performance by Richard Berry.

SPOILER:For some people ,the end of TV program may mean the end of life.After the "hero"'s suicide , there's nothing on the TV screen.
