Les granges brûlées

Yeah both Delon and Signoret play brilliantly here. With Signoret in this film being the dominant member of the family that takes almost all the decisions and not hesitating to confront the judge at any time while at the same time respecting some of her family members' decisions to move on and do something on their own in their lives, meaning she cares for them. This film is a whodunnit about a corpse found in a small village in France and Delon's character suspects that the family might be involved. The places of cinematography are very few. Only the house of the family, The Hotel in which Delon resides, the snowy countryside and Raul's bar. It's a little bit tiresome watching Delon leave the family house then comeback the next day etc etc. And yes the movie does have a very slow pace. It's length is 98 minutes but it feels like it has an additional hour of runtime. There are some interesting scenes but they don't make the film rewatchable again a second time. Especially with that extremely underwhelming ending that seems as if it was placed on the script at the last moment. Good drama and acting but I really don't want to watch this film again.
