Classe Tous Risques

Claude Sautet's explosive debut about a gangster on the run is a great character study with a stellar performance by the great Lino Ventura. A notorious gangster returns to Paris with his two young sons and the police close behind him. This riveting thriller starts with a bang and never slows down and also features a young and hot Jean-Paul Belmondo in his follow up to Godard's "À Bout de Souffle". Sautet's film is based on the gritty novel of real life criminal turned author José Giovanni and even cast a real gangster in a crucial role. Everything is right on in the classic film noir made during the French New Wave. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
