"Souvenirs perdus" is a 4 sketches movie with a strange construction, two comedies, one real noir, then a last comedy. It's not that I dislike comedies, but my favorite sketch is the one with Gérard Philippe and Danièle Delorme. Gérard Philippe is terribly frightening, he is possessed by death. This short noir is artistically well shot by master Christian Matras (see his french Max Ophüls movies). If I rated 8 for the entire movie (the first two sketches are so so), I rate this one 10. But there is the final sketche with the always excellent Bernard Blier competiting with Yves Montand (and his guitarist Henri Crolla) for loving a young widow owner of a grocery (ah these ancient groceries full of advertising objects). This sketch is shot in an old place in Versailles, now disappeared, a real document.
