      Karl Eric Daslow (Didier Sauvegrain) is the prime suspect of the assassination of President Marc Jarry (Gabriel Cattand). Daslow is an anagram of Oswald. Lee Harvey Oswald is suspected to have killed John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States.
    • Goofs
      When Procureur Henry Volney examines Nicolas Rosenko's book on Daslow it is very easy to see that each page of the book are identical.

    Breathtaking
    The first time I saw this film, I was in shock for days afterwards. Its painstaking and absorbing treatment of the subject holds the attention, helped by good acting and some really intriguing music. The ending, quite simply, had me gasping. First rate!
