Synopsis: |
Louis Malle's updated film version of the influential 1931 novel by Drieu La Rochelle became a detached, almost scientific study of a man's despair as he looks for a reason to continue living. Maurice Ronet contributed a performance of chilling veracity, avoiding any suggestion of sentimentality, as the former alcoholic refusing to settle down. | Average score 5 |
