A King Without Distraction
1963 · 1 hr 25 mins
A policeman and a serial killer play cat and mouse in an isolated mountain village in Nineteenth century France. The second film directed by the man who played the admirable lead role in Robert Bresson's A Man Escaped is a stylized and intense adaptation of a novel by Jean Giono. This police investigation in a 19th century village combines visual beauty with the rigor of the mise-en-scène—the vertigo of the criminal motivations indivisible from the refined graphics of the images.
Director: François Leterrier
Cast: Claude Giraud, Colette Renard, Charles Vanel, Albert Rémy, René Blancard
