Muddle 

Another film from Anddré Téchiné today.

Not his best. But good enough to stay with it.

Le lieu du crime / Scene of the Crime (1986)

The film stars Catherine Deneuve and, the stunner, Wadeck Stanczak. In a way, it doesn't matter what happens in the movie as long as Mr. Stanczak is on screen.

The plot is a little shaky but as it runs along, Téchiné holds us tight with close in shots of the actors and great use of the camera at night. Spooky. It is a genuine thriller.

One nice thing is the pacing of the film. Almost schoolbook. Quiet pastoral scenes, then boom. Nasty violent scenes are night. Chases.

I liked it enough to stay with it and hold on at the end as we see it resolve itself. A 3 out of Netflix5.
