Reviews:

one of the greatest conspirological thrillers of all time
Henri Verneuil’s film may be not so famous as Parallax View, 3 Days of the Condor or JFK but it is certainly not worse and sometimes even better than these classic representatives of the genre. Action takes place in fictional western state where fictional president has been killed. After several years of investigation, special government commission decides that president was killed by a lone gunman. But one man – prosecutor Volney, played by Yves Montand – thinks there’s something more to be investigated and so the film starts. This movie doesn’t deal with some exact theories, but it embraces the whole structure of relationship between government and society in today’s world. Such film could be made only in the 1970-ies but it will never lose it’s actuality. Furthermore, it’s even a bit frightful how precise are it’s oracles. 10 out of 10.

Excellent French Paranoid Thriller.
Henri Verneuil’s political thriller is a French take on the assassination of JFK. Yves Montand plays a magistrate investigating the murder of a president. After disagreeing with the findings of an official commission to find out what happened, he starts his personal investigation, reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, discovering holes in the official interpretation and slowly revealing a network of influences that implicates organized crime, secret services and the government.

Yves Montand is excellent in his role. It’s ironic – and perhaps not a coincidence – that he was chosen for this role. After all he’s known as the murdered politician in Costa-Gavras’ Z, so this is an inversion of his role. His character Henri Volney embodies all the values we want our civil servants to have: responsibility, courage, initiative, moral convictions.

Also fascinating is the subplot about Stanely Milgram’s experiments on obedience and authority. In the 196’s Milgram conducted experiments to find out how quickly people would surrender their will to others, in order to understand the mentality that allowed Germans to carry out gruesome crimes against innocent people. He discovered that people easily submit to authority figures and will commit atrocities in their name with little incentive.

The movie is well written, has excellent cinematography, good twists, gripping suspense, well-defined and likable characters, and a great but severely underused score by Ennio Morricone.
