9/10
Rather faithful to the Auguste le Breton's novel.
16 August 2020
I read the novel several decades ago and was very moved by it, as any other book written by Le Breton, so poignant, gripping stories, where this author knew how to tell stories and tensions between characters. The atmosphere and overall story is similar to the book, except that in the novel, it is not question of a heist, and the last sequences are not in the film. This is the perfect example that you can change sequences in a film from a novel and still remain faithful to the book spirit. On the contrary, you can make a film, book handed, scene for scene, and change the whole soul, only with a few dialogues. The example, Claude Chabrol's NADA. It seems the best adaptation in the world from Jean Patrick Manchette's book, and it is not. See my comment for this latest feature; I explain every detail.
