Scoumoune

There is much to say about this movie. But who has time to read reviews nowadays? First of all, Jose Giovanni, director and screenwriter, is an expert of the genre, he himself was a convict. There, in prison, he wrote some novels, which were then screened. This is one of them. The distribution is of great caliber: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Michel Constantin and Claudia Cardinale, three sacred monsters, all three gorgeous. All the other actors are natural and credible. Among them, a very young and very supple Gerard Depardieu. Francois de Roubaix's music is high-class, as usual. This is how to write a review, short and on the subject, not retell the action of the movie, as many are doing...
