See How They Fall (1994)
(Regarde les hommes tomber)
Country: FR
Technical: col/1.66:1 90m
Director: Jacques Audiard
Cast: Jean Yanne, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Mathieu Kassovitz, Bulle Ogier
Synopsis:
A business card salesman leaves his wife and work in Paris and travels to Vienne to pick up the trail of the hired killers who mortally wounded his undercover cop friend.
Review:
The trademark underworld slang and misanthropy of his father Michel's dialogue can be discerned in this mock Série Noire début from Audiard. He also brings out the seam of homosexuality latent since Elisha Cook Jr. toted a pair of 45s in the pockets of his gaberdine. However, despite practised playing from two old pros the movie never leaps off the screen, perhaps because the artful games with chronology disorient the viewer to no clear end. Most interesting are the foretastes of Un héros très discret present in the scenes of Kassovitz practising his tueur-à-gages patter, Yanne reading from the newspaper, and in Desplat's score.
