Renee From the description to the tape, we learn that before us screen adaptations of memoirs. Former police inspector, flick, Roger Bornish was known for his tough police sketches. And the general outline of the story of René le Caen is quite consistent with the chosen line. But when we start to watch the tape, then ... oh miracle ... despite everything, the two main characters frantically clown. They play scenes in front of the Gestapo, flirt with German girls. How memorable is the shot in which a fool Piccoli will hug a smoked leg with beef.
So... René le Caen is a robber and a criminal. He did not stew much even during World War II, at the same time supporting the Resistance and entering into confrontation with the fascists. However, one of his most famous acts is a daring escape from an armored vehicle. After making a hole in the floor, he fell into the street and almost died under the wheels of another car. And all this will be quite vividly depicted in the tape.
But, in the foreground of course, there will be an interaction between two friends and the girl caught between them. Turning daring robberies and unbridled resting, they are ready and ' to salt' fascists. After the war, all this will continue. Renee here is depicted as a kind of brave reveler, obsessed with sex. Moreover, before his male charms can not resist the then star of erotic cinema - Sylvia Christel.
He is the embodiment of hedonism, but not without the ability to be friends. Could the cinematic characterization be more elegant? In addition, played the role of René - Gerard Depardieu, then rising star of European cinema.
It is important to highlight what we will not be told in this film about Renee himself. There will be no mention of René’s relationship with the Princess of Monaco, who was nearly 20 years his senior. He worked as a gardener and they were very close to each other. You could call it that. Thus, Rene received a pass to the elite itself, to those on whose property his crimes were previously directed. But, agree – it would be a completely different story, mention Francis Giraud about it in his picture.
I think there was actually another film about René Le Cane. But of course, no one openly called things by their proper names. 'Catching a Thief' Hitchcock amazingly heroizes the image that just tried to advertise Renee. Well, all the coincidences of the scene of the picture with the interiors of Monaco, it seems to me, are not accidental at all.
