Top Criticsuperbly restrained
11/18/08
Le Deuxieme Souffle is at heart a romantic fantasy of underworld loyalty and lives of calculated risk and violence anchored by brilliantly staged and shot set pieces...
11/01/08
Characteristic of Melville's crime canon, the film's rigorously mannered aesthetic creates a decidedly artificial environment, and yet that environment is so meticulously, thoroughly realized that it's breathtakingly immersive.
10/06/08
The product of a director in complete control of his talents, Second Breath musters enough depth that by its conclusion it feels only nominally like a heist film.
01/09/08
A labyrinthine exploration of loyalties and betrayals in the French underworld.
02/09/06
Top CriticIt's a long film which stretches its premise over 150 minutes, but a rewarding experinece nonetheless.
09/16/03
Top CriticIt isn't an easy film to watch, perhaps because it moves so deliberately in comparison to its American models, but this somber, repressive, and perverse work displays a ferocious moral and formal integrity.
09/16/03
Top CriticIt is a violent film shot with calm detachment.
