Hailed at its release by the then-critic Bertrand Tavernier as an exceptional political film, Alain Cavalier's first feature transforms the actions of an extreme right group preparing an attack—inspired by the one aimed at General de Gaulle—into a tense and rigorous thriller: a poetic ballad that owes much to the physical yet otherworldly presence of Jean-Louis Trintignant and the sensual charisma of Romy Schneider.
