You find here Yves Boisset's trade mark thru Clouzot's best film, but it is not a remake. Boisset's DNA is everywhere in this film. This could have been inspired from a Jean Pierre Bastid's novel, or even Jean Amila's, the two specialists of the political and social issues in France in the sixties and seventies. Bastid wrote Boisset's L'ATTENTAT and DUPONT LAJOIE, which some lines are close to this one. This movie could have been made by Jean Pierre Mocky, the perfect topic for him, but it would have been in a different manner. Mocky's manner. A very accurate analysis of the human behavior, realistic and nasty, disgusting but unfortunately true, some lines you could also find in some westerns taking place in small towns. Boisset's trademark.
