Los asesinos del orden

I would have never bet a dime on Marcel Carné for directing this film. Never. This amazing film maker had his peak during the thirties, forties and nothing in the sixties and seventies. Nothing special, I mean. All his great classics were made during his first part of career. Here, Jacques Brel seems to work under André Cayatte's direction, maybe because I already know he was directed by Cayatte before. Anyway, I had the feeling to watch a Cayatte's topic and also inspired by a Sidney Lumet's movie. Justice, court, police - cops - which task is not always that impeccable for the paxpayer. A fierce, nearly brutal, plot that Yves Boisset would have liked, because so close to his favourite topics.
