Help about a French Film

I saw a French film when I was child — it was black and white, made during “The 400 Blows” or “The Fire Within” eras, I think. I can’t remember the plot, but I think it was about a former bullfighter who has come back to his native town to rebuild his relationship with his wife (?) and/or little daughter. I distinctly remember a scene in a shop where he was asked by the shopkeeper why he came back, and he replied “To buy.” Does anyone know what that film is?

Anyone?……

sorry divinem, no idea from me! i tried googling random words but all it came up with was that awful greg kinnear film!

Thanks, Adam. :) [I’d like to apply Peter Griffin’s quote about Ben Stiller to Greg Kinnear: “His movies are terrible.”]

Anyhoo, I’m desperate to see that film again. It kinda looked like “The Fire Within.”

Hmm, not sure.

the one productive thing i will say is that youre probably in the best place possible to actually find out what it is! i have a feeling your intitial post may have got lost in the rush of new threads that came with this sites huge jump in popularity last week. i know that i missed it when you posted it originally, so heres hoping more people come across it now!

De sable et de sang (Blood and Sand) ?

I’m pretty good with French cinema, but I can’t recall any concerning a bullfighter. Are you sure it’s French?

Christopher Sepesy: I’m not really sure if he was a bullfighter. There’s one scene, I think, in a shop where he toyed around with a sword and mimicked a matador. Yes, I’m quite sure it’s French.
