L’horloger de Saint-Paul (1974)
(The Watchmaker of St. Paul)
Country: FR
Technical: col 105m
Director: Bertrand Tavernier
Cast: Philippe Noiret, Jean Rochefort, Jacques Denis
Synopsis:
An horologist lives with his son in a suburb of Lyon, but his peaceful life is shattered when a police superintendent visits with the news that the young man has murdered a factory owner. The question neither can understand is why.
Review:
Tavernier's slice of Simenon is strangely unengaging, as if he has been too literal in his transcription of the original text. Two excellent actors are left with little to work with.
