Review of Flic Story (1975) by Louis D — 04 Feb 2008
Jacques Deray dismisses the reconstructionist approach to crime films used by his contemporaries (Jean Luc Godard and Jean Pierre Melville) through refusal of an artistic treatment and the use of traditional, albeit expertly presented, narrative devices.
Without application of these more accessible facets, Flic Story would have obscured a brilliant character study regarding the necessity of desperation when working to achieve status or committing acts of revenge.
