A nice little film

This worth watching french movie may be more complicated than it seems at first sight. I did not quite understand all the genuine genesis of this fascinating tale. And above all not usual at all. Nothing foreseeable here. A sort of nostalgic, old fashioned story, homage to the film noir, with outstanding actors such as Denis Menochet and Jean Pierre Martins. I compare this latest with Michael Madsen, same face, same kind of overall set. Both could easily play the King Presley on the big screen. Remember JP Martins, as Marcel Cerdan, in LA MÔME.

This film is a tale about wrestlers in the 60's. A story of manhood, friendship among men, sometimes complex to get entirely. It deserves several watchings. The character played by Yann Colette is terrific.

This feature is a drama, more than a noir movie or a crime flick.

Some dialogue lines are outstanding.
