Police Python 357 on Arte this Monday evening
Alain Corneau's thriller, starring Yves Montand, returns to the screen tonight.
Arte will broadcast this Monday evening the thriller Police Python 357 by Alain Corneau. The 1977 feature film stars Yves Montand, Simone Signoret and François Périer in a dark crime drama where Commissioner Ganay investigates the murder of an inspector's mistress. The script, focused on the protagonist's loss of identity as he identifies with his weapon, creates an oppressive atmosphere supported by Georges Delerue's haunting score. The performances of a tormented Montand and a moving Signoret are praised. According to AlloCiné, the film won the César for Best Editing and attracted nearly one and a half million cinema-goers. A chance to rediscover a classic of French noir.
