That film is a masterpiece. It's dark, dirty, and it will leave you drained. Rumour has it that its star, Patrick Dewaere, while having delivered a performance for the ages, never quite forgot his character Frank Poupart, and was depressed enough over it that he blew his brains out at age 35.

Yksinkertainen juoni lepää täysin Patrick Dewaeren huikean roolityön harteilla. Hitaan aloituksen jälkeen käteen jää lopulta yksi kaikkein aikojen mieleenpainuvimmista ranskalaisista noireista ja yksi osuvimmista Thompson-tulkinnoista. Loppu on silkkaa kultaa, vaikkei ihan alkuteoksen viiltävyyteen pystykään.

An off-beat film with a great atmosphere and

An off-beat film with a great atmosphere and a fantastic lead performance in Franck, a loser salesman is struggling to pay his bills. He seems fed up with his wife, a lady he never seem to treat very well. We follow him in his job, but mostly his daily life, whining about money and his way of dealing with his hard life. Then he meets Mona - a lovely 17 year old that is a forced prostitute, living locked up at her grandmothers place. She seem too like Franck - he is gentle too her, he does not want her services - he wants her to have a better life, and most importantly he want her, even if he knows she's way too young. When the opportunity to get hands on big money he decides to go for it, even if it means solid crime. It will give him some opportunities with Mona as well, so there is a small hope that he can escape the life he lives. Naturally things happen and the film gradually develops into a great mess. This is film is not well-known, but it deserves props for standing out as something different. The fantastic lead is astonishing in his role. Patrick Dewaere was a man that suffered off camera too, that gave him some helpfull touches as an actor I guess. He never blew up as an actor, and he sadly commited suicide at the age of 35. Marie Trintignant, the lady that plays the less talkable "Mona" is also carrying a dark story. With a natural, feminine look - delicate with a recklessness in her expression she was popular, but still suffered psychically. She tended to date wild guys and she was actually killed after a fight with her boyfriend in 2003, only 41 years old. So, this film brings tragical stories off set too, but even if its not brilliantly shot or noteworthy well-produced or filled with good effects it stands as a very good film with amazing build up and a terrific ending. I'm glad I saw it. 8.5 out of 10 sets of stairs.
