Garde à vue (1981)
Country: FR
Technical: col 88m
Director: Claude Miller
Cast: Lino Ventura, Michel Serrault, Guy Marchand, Romy Schneider
Synopsis:
A police inspector holds a respectable gentleman for questioning overnight, convinced he is guilty of a pair of child murders.
Review:
Like a more civilised version of Lumet's The Offence, Miller's actors' piece is a superior slice of quality cinema, largely confined to the Inspector's office and set during a rainy New Year's Eve. Far from being theatrical, though, the treatment is freely cinematic, concise in length and with terse, punchy dialogue.
