Malevil

This is for me not an anticipation film, despite the fact that it takes place after a nuclear attack, a common topic for many movies of the early eighties, I guess after MAD MAX and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK success. MALEVIL is more a character and social study than anything else. It is a bit complex but the lines, possibilities of readings, are numerous, the audiences have a large choice among all the things they can say about this film. It is of course pretty interesting to watch, analyze, especially for a French film, very daring and the presence of the likes as Michel Serrault, Jean Louis Trintignant emphasizes the quality of this unusual and tremendous movie. I have not yet read the novel which it is inspired from, so I won't speak of the adaptation. Awesome settings from the French mountains, landscape, wilderness.
