Movie Reviews

Reviewed by dbdumonteil

"Captive city",à la française.

Inspired by a true story which was widely talked about at the time,"Boulevard des assassins " boasts a good cast featuring Jean-Louis Trintignant,Victor Lanoux ,Marie-France Pisier and Stephane Audran -an actress who sometimes gives a Chabrolesque feel to the atmosphere-,but does not deliver the goods.Like in Robert Wise's film noir "captive city",we do not know exactly who they are,those murderers who do away with old ladies to appropriate their valuable sites.And the mayor of the town might be behind these very bad things. But Robert Wise 's work was some fifty years ago,and in 1982 ,the topic was hackneyed and here the directing is completely listless the screenplay muddled and the characters incapable of sustaining any interest.

Mainly for Jean Louis Trintignant

For the rest, besides Victor Lanoux - as a nasty character, an awesome performance - and Jean Louis Trintignant, it is a perfect sleeping film, which topic could remind LE CORPS DE MON ENNEMI, not exactly the same story but a same kind of atmosphere. Claude Chabrol like schemes are not far. Yes, that's it, the Chabrol's films, I guess, inspired this screenplay, and also maybe because of the presence of Stephane Audran - Chabrol's favourite actress. I know, it is adapted from a Max Gallo's novel, that I have not read, but the result is a bit boring and the ending saves the whole for someone like me. It looks like the end of LE SECRET, from director Robert Enrico. I don't know the director, never heard of him before. The usual forgettable French crime movie from the early eighties but with some seventies style, not eighties.
