Viewing Notes

This was a nice pick for Noir City this year. It’s part film noir that blurs into a bit a French New Wave. The romantic side story between Jean-Paul Belmondo and Sandra Milo is worthy of a movie on its own. That was also my favorite aspect to this manhunt is how those two meet and come together as a couple. It also gives energy to this often depressing tale of a father on the run.
