Movie Reviews of Garde à vue
Movie Review: great drama, great acting...
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this in the theatre in the early 80's and it ripped my head open. Michel Serrault was known at the time for an innocuous fag comedy "La Cage Aux Folles" - he could not make a make a more different character move. This film is gut wrenching. Lino Ventura is of course Lino Ventura - a real tough guy with a brain. And Romy Schneider shows the chops from her training with Visconti. God she is missed when you think of how crap most Hollywood beauties are as actresses. Be warned, this is a very tough movie if you have children, but worth it. I would stand in the rain for a day to screen this in a theatre, so there. I think it was badly remade by Hollywood. the rights must be tied up by someone which is why it's not available on regular DVD. If you want gripping drama and GREAT acting this is it.
