Les Granges brulées
1973 Crime / Drama
Review
Two years after their improbable appearance together in La
Veuve Couderc, Alain Delon and Simone Signoret were brought together for a second
time, and in a similar setting. This time, the fiction is a familiar crime investigation,
but, unlike the conventional policier, the emphasis is much more on character than plot.
Some respectable performances (from a distinguished cast) and good location photography
compensate for a lacklustre script, although Jean-Michel Jarre’s music is far too
intrusive and effectively ruins the mood of the piece. Simone Signoret’s daughter
in the film is played by her real-life daughter, Catherine Allégret.
