Le Deuxieme Souffle review
Posted by thephantombroadcast on February 8, 2010
Made after three years ‘in the wilderness’ someone is concerned Melville, this is his most elaborate and intricately plotted film noir, a Byzantine study of loyalties and betrayals in the French underworld. It centres on an ageing hoodlum (Ventura at his most gnarled), in hiding after escaping from jail, who involves himself in a daring highway robbery while waiting to be smuggled off of the country. The steely location photography gives the strength a facade of realism, but the film’s real energies are subterranean, and suffused with Melville’s typical verse: the nonconformist interdependence of cop and criminal here is seen with the same eyes as the passionate love/hate of the brother and sister in Les Enfants Terribles.
