One summer, in the Paris suburb of Kremlin-Bicêtre, two events overlap in a tragicomic explosion. A filmmaker and his cast can’t manage to finish a film, which was turned down for a production subsidy. They murder the members of the subsidy commission. Only the president escapes with his life. At the same time, a modern, mute Robin Hood on rollerblades steals from the rich to give to the poor. –Quinzaine des Réalisateurs
Born in 1930, Paul Vecchiali, Cahiers du cinéma critic, actor and producer, has over the years created a highly original body of film that reflect his passions, the cinema of the 30s, the films of Douglas Sirk, Bresson and Hitchcock. Preoccupied with his independence, he has worked in a wide variety of genres: dramas verging on the fantastic, evocations of pornography and prostitution, and collaboration during World War Two. –Quinzaine des Réalisateurs
