A rarity for its period - a French film which acknowledges the existence of collaboration with the Nazis during World War II. It aroused some anger in its homeland, and Malle went to America as a result. Audiences tend to get the point very early on - about how easy it is to drift unthinkingly towards evil - and the length (not to mention the blank central character) becomes wearisome. It won a BAFTA Award as Best Film of the Year. |
