La femme flic

Typical masterpiece, gem, from our French daring, brave, bold Yves Boisset who, here, in this picture shows a topic, subject that someone like Jean-Pierre Mocky could have also told, but of course in another manner, with his own way. A daring subject for its time, where feminism was nearly a forbidden topic to talk about, except in late evening Tv programs, talk shows destined to hard sleep audiences. Now, in 2024, female lead characters are galore, legion, it is nearly impossible to have a film or series WITHOUT a female lead, strong, determined, daring, as Yves Boisset here, in a movie that certainly pleased Claude Chabrol who, himself, also criticized the little town, provincial bourgeoisie.
