  The Wretches 1960

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Dec 2022

  A masterpiece. How good is it? I watched it twice in one night.

  A brutal exploration of grief through the prism of the the Americanization of Europe.

  Robert Hossein should be up there in any discussion on the great French directors. His movies often feel like they’re ripped out of the covers of old paperbacks and here he uses the visual iconography of the pulps to lure you into the American dream before turning it into a jazz nightmare.

  Michèle…

  Appreciate the Bruno Nicolai needle-drop.
