Our take

A sultry crime thriller imbued with the thirst for revenge, Body of My Enemy spotlights 70s Jean-Paul Belmondo in all his glory! Told through revealing flashbacks, the actor’s sixth feature with prolific French-Armenian director Henri Verneuil is a fiery class critique of institutional corruption.
