Sometimes ago, I read the comments on Le 7ème Juré, which opened my interest to have a look on it. Though Bernard Blier has never been someone I liked very much, perhaps only for his cold demeanor...
Possibly not explainable, or just because occasionally you like someone you don't know, and you have no apparent sympathy for another one... it just goes by feeling.
I have still no "ellective affinities" with BB (not Brigitte Bardot, don't get me wrong! :) but his fine performance reminds me his other movies in which he plays. Amici miei (Mario Monicelli 1975) is one example that comes to my mind... (much more enjoyable, only because it's a kind of comedy)
My apologizes to Blier : he's pretty good ! Once more !
They are pretty good, too, in that small town, with the conspiracy of silence, and indulgence for the good society. What can be said, what should not... an so forth!
Lautner is also not known to me to make very funny nor good films, but mildly diverting ones. Sorry for his fan! Now, in that one, possibly his cinematographic achievement, he demonstrates an accurate vision of human society.
And as said by another comment I wonder why he didn't use this creative force to make more ones like Le 7ème Juré.
For me, it is not possible to like this movie: it is too true, to well describing how it goes and functions everywhere... But it's an excellent one!
Critical, cynical, clinical and desperate : great drama/thriller
One may, like me, not like it but still appreciate it, as I did : great cinema !
