Rendez-vous en noir (1977– )
9/10
Seen once as a teen in a German dubbed version and never forgot
24 June 2019
Not that it matters but I can agree to all previous reviews, a very impressive mini series at its time. I have been looking for clues since the late 70s but never even found out about the title. I'd really like to watch it again as I hadn't had missed a single minute of any episode broadcasted on German public TV back then, a long time before Arte was founded. Many (French) TV and Cinema productions of this time had some artfully voyeuristic way of using violence incidentally to carry the action (like in "Mortelle randonnee".) The revenge plot here is more moralistic in the sense of Inspector Derrick's musings. However, I am not a big fan of US remakes as they make too many concessions and would rather enjoy the original with subtitles; these productions are just different and any attempt to copy the story will simply end up mediocre.
