🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Michel Deville constructs a tale on the contrast between grotesque absurdity and the almost documentary-like black-and-white cinematography of Parisian suburbs. He relies on a rhythm where the characters' misfortunes feel like fate rather than mere comic failures.

What lingers after viewing is a sense of gentle melancholy from this series of fatal missteps, where a life of petty crime is portrayed as a hopeless and exhausting trade. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Michel Deville

With a strong cup of coffee in the evening, soaking in the atmosphere of 60s Parisian noir.
