A highly effective gangster film, a historical reconstruction of real-life events<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alain Delon still knows how to hypnotise, with the help of a hairpiece<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the success of Flic Story<\/em>, the Jacques Deray-Alain Delon partnership continued with another film based on real-life events. This time, the story of the Tractions Avant<\/em> criminal gang, who ran riot on French soil in the immediate post-war period. Once again, this film manages to satisfy audiences in search of convincing action, as well as fans of accurate reconstructions of a certain time and place in history. However, compared to Flic Story<\/em>, this film has a more euphoric air to it: the robberies lead to drunken celebrations, the camaraderie in the band feels authentic, and there is also a love interest. All of which only serves to make the eventual break-up even more bitter. Alain Delon wears a thick curly wig that has something hypnotic about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Robert, AKA Pierrot-le-fou, is the head of a band of thieves. Every time they make a successful hit, they celebrate in style. After being caught and managing to escape justice with a daring escape, he decides the time has come to pull off one last big job in style. He should have stopped a little earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9342,"template":"","project-category":[33],"project-genre":[38],"class_list":["post-9360","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-category-cinema-en","project-genre-detective-story"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
