Review of The Confession (1970) by Serge L — 01 Dec 2015
Aclassic of french cinema that holds the test of time. The story is rather simple and the film is more about how the hell can you or them make perfectly reasonable and intelligent men become puppets of the powers to the point of accepting their deaths.
Great work by Yves Montant that did not hesitate to lose considerable weight for the credibility of the film. It may have been a first in cinema. This film arrived only two years after Prague was taken and the Vietnam war was raging.
An important marker pole of the epochs, both of the film story and the 70s with the accompanying dvd extras.
