Rezension von searchanddestroy-1

This is the last film of Robert Enrico, the most popular film director from the sixties and seventies; check his filmography: LES AVENTURIERS, LES GRANDES GUEULES, LE VIEUX FUSIL. In this social drama, tragic and gloomy plot, you may find some accents, some elements that you already had in the sixties, seventies, Enrico's highlight period. For instance the music score that evokes westerns,as you had in LES GRANDES GUEULES. And it takes place in the countryside settings that Enrico monitored very well, all long his career. Charles Berling is excellent and gripping in this desperate character. Unfortunately inspired from actual events. And, as in LE VIEUX FUSIL, another Robert Enrico's film, the most famous one, the lead character fights alone against his opponents with an old fashioned gun.
