Le Doulos's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, it's knee-deep in shadows, intrigue and suspicion and characters with perfectly tilted hats but shifty morals (Le Doulos means both a hat and an informer and the Coens' hat fetish in Miller's Crossing may well have started here.
Time Out
Terrific performances, and equally terrific camerawork from Nicolas Hayer - more gris than noir - conjure a rivetingly treacherous, twilit world.
Roger Ebert
To see both Belmondo and Piccoli in 1962 is to be reminded how early they embodied their distinctive screen presences: Piccoli, the balding, saturnine slickster with the five-o?clock shadow, and Belmondo, the oily outlaw punk.
Fotogramas
A thriller that tries to articulate a history of feelings found and hopeless on the eternal and ambiguous subject of the betrayal.
