Mostly overlooked french adaptation of David Goodis crime novel of the same name, its striking visuals and great acting by Gerard Depardieu and Nastassja Kinski together with dense and oppressive atmosphere are greatly appreciated by movie aficionados. Plot revolves around meaningless killing of protagonist sister and his pursuit of the killer while at the same time Nastassja tries to lure Depardieu from that poor neighbourhood, and in the end he refuses her advances, realizing it could be anyone in that slum who could kill his sister.
