Les Amis 1971
1h 40min | Drama | 10 November 1971 (France)
User review:
One of the mavericks of the French cinema ,Gerard Blain became famous with three great works ,two of which (“Le Beau Serge” “Les Cousins” )belonged to the Nouvelle Vague whereas the third one was one of the masterpieces of the old one (“Voici Le Temps Des Assassins”). The clues to his future as a director were not Claude Chabrol or Julien Duvivier though.His most notable influence is arguably Robert Bresson.The amateurish acting of the actors who deliver their lines in a neutral voice ,a sense of ellipsis ,all that reminds you of Bresson.
