Police Python 357 is the film that established Alain Corneau as one of France’s most promising young directors in the mid-1970s. He had previously made just one film...  [More...]   After their great success with Police Python 357 in 1976, director Alain Corneau and actor Yves Montand are reunited for a similarly well-crafted and suspenseful film noir thriller...  [More...]   This is arguably one of the best and most original French films of the 1970s – a decade which did French cinema few favours but which did, from time to time...  [More...]
