Die Löwin und ihr Jäger

"Les Granges Brûlées" has a good cast, eye-massaging snowbound locations and a promising start (a dead body is discovered in the very first scene), but soon turns out to be a dull and disappointing murder mystery nonetheless. Alain Delon wanders around looking glum, and does no real investigating or deducting like his character is supposed to be doing; at two different points, even other characters in the film comment on the fact that he is just spinning his wheels. A terrible resolution to the mystery drags an already poor movie even further down, to a *1/2 out of 4 rating.
