Film Synopsis
Gilbert and M.G. are two notorious crooks who have just broken out of
jail. Pursued by the police, they take refuge in a house
belonging to the well-heeled Roze family. They receive a
surprisingly warm welcome from Béatrice and her daughter Magali,
who are only slightly bothered that they will now have to cancel the
dinner they had planned for that evening, to celebrate Béatrice
and Daniel's 20th wedding anniversary. Just why are the Rozes
being so compliant? Anyone would think they had wanted to be
taken hostage for years. Gilbert and MG soon discover that things
are not what they seem...

The very best of the French New Wave
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
