This movie is typical of the seventies in terms of gloominess and desperate atmosphere, it could have been made by Andre Cayatte - LA RAISON D'ETAT and a strange and disturbing and full of untold elements are here to puzzle audiences minds. Yves Boisset and Jacques Deray also gave us ESPION LEVE TOI and UN PAPILLON SUR L'EPAULE, and Henri Verneuil did the same with I COMME ICARE, nearly same kind of topics. Not for all audiences for sure, not today's - 2024 - audiences. They don't make films like this anymore. This feature is riveting, full of suspense and surprises, despite its low pace. Bruno Cremer excellent and the female character convincing too.
