'Speaking of Murder' – Jean Gabin leads a heist crew on Kino Film Collection and Hoopla

Jean Gabin stars as Louis le Blond, the aging head of a heist crew that is one slip away from turning on itself, in the French noir Speaking of Murder (France, 1957). No one actually speaks of murder here. Louis is determined to keep things cool and contained and he’s as much peacemaker as leader. In fact, the original French title is Le rouge est mis, which translates to “the red is set,” a bit…

Le juge Fayard dit  Le Shériff (Следователь по прозвищу "Шериф")

Фільм про сміливого лівого слідчого, який люто викриває акул капіталізму, мав успіх у СРСР (прокат 1979 року). Пам'ятаю плакати з дитинства «Слідчий на прізвисько “Шериф”». До речі, радянська прокатна версія на півгодини коротша за оригінал Відмінні акторські роботи Патріка Деваера (слідчий Шериф) і Марселя Буззуфі (кілер з ОАС). Хороший зразок французького політичного кримінального кіно. Хоча саме зайва політизованість мені не сподобалася. Хто хоче яскравих бойовиків, проходить повз, тут Ів Буассе боровся із соціальним злом і грав у Даміано Даміані.

Charles Denner and Yves Montand in Z (Costa-Gavras, 1969)

Cast: Jean-Louis Trintignant, Yves Montand, Irene Papas, Pierre Dux, Jacques Perrin, Charles Denner, François Périer, Georges Géret, Bernard Fresson, Marcel Bozzuffi, Julien Guiomar, Magali Noël. Screenplay: Jorge Semprún, based on a novel by Vassiliis Vassilikos. Cinematography: Raoul Coutard. Production design: Jacques D’Ovidio. Film editing: Françoise Bonnot. Music: Mikis Theodorakis. 

Costa-Gavras's great political thriller, Z,  was an unsettling film to watch in 1969, the year after Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. were assassinated, the police clashed with demonstrators at the Democratic convention in Chicago, and Richard Nixon was elected president. What makes it unsettling in today's political climate is the way the film shows the destructive collaboration of ideologues, buffoons, and thugs. It's an often grimly funny movie, particularly in the portrayal of the general in charge of the police, who as played by Pierre Dux is both ideologue and buffoon. There is buffoonery also among the thugs, and Costa-Gavras has fun mocking the conspirators who, once they angrily leave the room in which they've been indicted, each try to open a locked door. But we mock them in vain. For while the efforts of the prosecutor played beautifully by Jean-Louis Trintignant are heroic and Costa-Gavras and screenwriter Jorge Semprún make us expect justice to prevail, it doesn't. The story is that of the assassination of Greek opposition politician Grigoris Lambrakis in 1963 and the subsequent investigation that brought a glimmer of hope to the country only to be squelched by the military coup of 1967. However, the film is set in no specific country -- it was filmed in Algeria -- and only an opening "disclaimer" that parodies the usual assertion about any resemblance to persons living or dead dares to say that the resemblances in the film are entirely intentional. Costa-Gavras and Semprún were political exiles from, respectively, Greece and Spain. The composer Mikis Theodorakis had been arrested and his music was banned in Greece; he gave Costa-Gavras permission to use existing compositions for the film score. But the decision to set the film in no particular place only strengthened its ability to reach out and make its story meaningful beyond a specific place and time. Although Yves Montand and Irene Papas get top billing as the assassinated politician and his wife, Montand's role is comparatively small and Papas's is virtually a cameo. The movie is mostly carried by Trintignant and by Jacques Perrin, one of its producers who also plays a very aggressive investigative journalist, and a capable supporting cast. It won Oscars as the best foreign-language film and for Françoise Bonnot's film editing. It was also nominated in the best picture category, and picked up nominations for best director and best adapted screenplay, but lost in those categories to Midnight Cowboy and its director, John Schlesinger, and screenwriter, Waldo Salt.

Happy end

Il film s’intitola Hold-up: istantanea di una rapina. Ed è un giallaccio italo-spagnolo. Ne riassumo brevissimamente la trama. C’è un ex poliziotto smemorato con il vizio dell’alta gradazione e del gioco. Non ricorda più dove siano finiti i talleri di una rapina avvenuta anni prima. Alla fine della pellicola la memoria gli torna. Recando con sé il colpo di scena finale. La storia ha svariate incongruenze. Ma c’è qualche sequenza d’azione non male. Soprattutto uno spettacolare inseguimento che coinvolge tre automobili. E tre interpreti che spiccano sugli altri: Marcel Bozzuffi, Enrico Maria Salerno e Nathalie Delon. Ma è un altro il motivo che mi ha spinto a digitare questo post. Fin dalle prime scene ho avuto come una sensazione di già visto. Poi mi sono ricordato. Questo è uno dei film che ho amato da ragazzo. E sono riuscito a trovarlo senza sapere quale fosse (non ne ricordavo il titolo). Ciò mi ha dato una grande felicità. Amo questo tipo di lieto fine. Anche se Hold-up: istantanea di una rapina ha proprio un finale di merda.

The French Connection, William Friedkin, 1971, US

Starring Gene Hackman, Fernando Rey, Roy Scheider, Tony Lo Bianco, Marcel Bozzuffi, Frederic de Pasquale.

104 min, Film Neo Noir

The screenplay, written by Ernest Tidyman, is based on Robin Moore's 1969 book of the same name.

New York Detective "Popeye" Doyle (Gene Hackman) and his partner (Roy Scheider) chase a French heroin smuggler.

An urban crime thriller which won undeserved acclaim for its efficient but unremarkable elevat-

ed-railway chase and its clumsy, showy emphasis on grainy, sordid realism. The performances are strong, although Hackman has done far better than this portrayal of a hard-nosed cop obsessively tracking down a narcotics ring in New York, using methods disapproved of by his superiors. The real problems, however, are that Friedkin's nervy, noisy, undisciplined pseudo-realism

sits uneasily with his suspense motivated shock editing; and that compared to (say) Siegel's Dirty Harry, the film maintains no critical distance from (indeed, rather relishes) its 'loveable' hero's brutal vigilante psychology.

At the 44th Academy Awards, the film earned eight nominations and won five for Best Picture, Best Actor (Hackman), Best Director, Best Film Editing, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

'Le Deuxième Souffle' – Lina Ventura takes his revenge on Criterion Channel

Jean-Pierre Melville, the dean of French crime cinema, made his name with a series of deftly-directed tales of colorful underworld characters, starting with the playfully ironic heist picture Bob le Flambeur. Le Deuxieme Souffle (France, 1966) casts a darker shadow over his sensibility. Lino Ventura, the stocky, broad-shouldered crime movie icon, stars as Gustave ‘Gu’ Minda, a loner and career…
