L'Argent des Autres (1978)
Director: Christian de Chalonge
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This Prix Delluc winner is a surprisingly compulsive microcosmic political thriller, delving into the labyrinthine world of banking and high-financial manipulation. The astute casting of that perennial victim Trintignant - made the scapegoat for a scandal the bank is hushing up, he explores the system in his determination to fight back - points the cinematic connection with the more overtly violent, equally ghastly worlds of Costa-Gravas and Yves Boisset.Author: PT
