Policeman by Jean-François Stévenin / France / 1986 / 1h30/ With Jean-François Stévenin, Yves Afonso, Carole Bouquet

François is 40 years old and an uneventful life. A wife, a daughter and a good job. One day, he discovers Leo, his former summer camp friend, on the cover of a detective novel. Together, they played a lot with fire, and with the other, "the Kuntch", their whipping boy at the time... François is looking for Léo, an overexcited old kid. Then comes the idea of finding Kuntch.

“The way in which Stévenin treats the sound, the muffled sonority of the words, in contrast to the grandiose sharpness of the mountains is fantastic. It is like indirect lighting and all the more revealing on the disarray of the poor heroes. The film is beautiful, it is rough and funny, tender and moving, like a song by Brel. Colette Godard, Le Monde, October 29, 1986.
