i saw le doulos not even a month ago and thought it was kinda bad.
this is no different which im still shocked i find both to be weak since i really liked melville's other film, le cercle rouge.i like that one because its big and stealthy, both those others films are more interested in the after math of the crime rather then the build up to the crime(le cercle rouge is more then that but still) and thats fine but the way they go about it feel lackluster and even tho they are directed extremely well with great cinematography and performances, it all still feels rather empty. it doesn't help that this one, un flic has a transgender character....in 1972 so you can imagine how well it handles the treatment of that character.
