'Le Trou' – plotting a prison break on Criterion Channel

Le Trou (France, 1960), Jacques Becker’s meticulous thriller of the elaborate escape from a Parisian prison (“the hole”), features a cast of non-actors whose etched and sculpted faces tell as much about their characters as their deliberate, restrained performances.

Becker had his own voice, that shined through the various genres he worked in–he also directed such classics as Goupi Mains Rouges, Casque d'or, or Touchez pas au grisbi. Truffaut used the term "politique des auteurs" about him, the term that describes how a director is not just a cog in the wheel but makes a movie his own, expressing his own themes by his directorial choices, even when he didn't write the screenplay.

Le trou is an adaptation of former convict José Giovanni's first novel, inspired by his own attempted escape from jail. Many of Giovanni's novels were turned into movies. He later wrote original screenplays and directed movies.

SUBLIME CINEMA #419 - LE TROU

‘The Hole’, an underrated French noir and escape picture; director Jacques Brecker died suddenly after the film was completed. He was lesser known than many of his compatriots, but just as admired - Renoir was a champion after starting as his assistant, and Truffaut lauded his movies as elegant challenges to vulgarity.
