https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/maigret-sees-red/
Published: June 14, 2026 19:45
Gilles Grangier’s Maigret voit rouge stars Jean Gabin as Inspector Jules Maigret, alongside Françoise Fabian, Roland Armontel, Paul Frankeur, Paul Carpenter, and Michel Constantin. The film is based on Georges Simenon’s 1951 detective novel Maigret, Lognon…
The Lawyer, 1970 - ★★★★
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/the-lawyer/1/
Published: June 13, 2026 20:02
Sidney J. Furie’s The Lawyer offers a surprisingly entertaining take on the story that later inspired both the classic TV series The Fugitive and the film adaptation starring Harrison Ford. What makes Furie’s courtroom drama so remarkable is how it takes a…
La Femme flic, 1980 - ★★★★½
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/la-femme-flic/
Published: June 13, 2026 15:38
Harsh, heart-wrenching, and brilliantly realized, Yves Boisset’s La femme flic is a strikingly realistic film, a political policier anchored by an astonishing performance from Miou-Miou as an impetuous young police inspector. Boisset delivers one of his…
Mad Enough to Kill, 1975 - ★★★★½
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/mad-enough-to-kill/
Published: June 12, 2026 20:52
There is an uneasy, almost surreal atmosphere permeating Yves Boisset’s Folle à tuer. Adapted from Jean-Patrick Manchette’s Série noire novel Ô dingos, ô châteaux!, the film thrives on the strangeness of its premise, unfolding like a dark, unsettling fairy…
Angel's Leap, 1971 - ★★★★½
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/angels-leap/
Published: June 12, 2026 18:20
Just one year after the terrific Un condé, acclaimed filmmaker Yves Boisset returned with Saut de l’ange, an equally brutal and gritty crime thriller. This time, however, he leans into a more adventurous narrative, with action and structure reminiscent of…
Et øye på hver finger, 1961 - ★★
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/et-oye-pa-hver-finger/
Published: June 12, 2026 11:37
The versatile filmmaker Nils-Reinhardt Christensen’s Et øye på hver finger, based on a novel by Ingeborg Storm, is a whimsical, unfocused farce featuring a wide array of popular stars, including Henki Kolstad, Harald Heide Steen, Tor Stokke, Sissel Juul,…
I Don't Want to Be a Man, 1918 - ★★★½
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/i-dont-want-to-be-a-man/
Published: June 11, 2026 22:08
Early Ernst Lubitsch, and it is certainly a droll one, with a mischievous and rebellious Ossi Oswalda gleefully making life difficult for Curt Goetz, Ferry Sikla, Margarete Kupfer, and Victor Janson. Goetz was himself a brilliant writer, and film director.…
Madness, 1994 - ★★
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/madness-1994/
Published: June 11, 2026 16:52
Occhi senza volto, Bruno Mattei’s 1994 giallo, arrived well after the genre’s peak. Produced on a modest budget, the film feels amateurish, with a cast largely composed of lesser-known Italian performers whose acting is absurdly bad. Luigi Ciccarese’s…
If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death, 1968 - ★★★★
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/if-you-meet-sartana-pray-for-your-death/1/
Published: June 10, 2026 17:51
There are five official entries in the so-called Sartana canon. These films combine classic Western tropes, dark humor, and a distinctive sense of stylish pop-art aesthetics. The first installment, Se incontri Sartana prega per la tua morte, is an…
The Killers, 1964 - ★★★★
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/the-killers-1964/
Published: June 10, 2026 16:26
Don Siegel’s The Killers is a biting, brutal remake of Robert Siodmak’s 1946 classic. Siegel’s adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s short story was originally produced for television, but its level of violence led to a theatrical release instead. Slick,…
Brute Force, 1947 - ★★★★
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/brute-force/
Published: June 10, 2026 12:55
Jules Dassin’s Brute Force is unflinching, bleak, and brutal, yet it doesn’t glamorize violence. Instead, it channels a raw, realistic fury that distinguishes it from earlier films of the 1940s. The ferocity of its climax was virtually unprecedented for…
Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez, 1964 - ★★★½
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/le-gendarme-de-saint-tropez/
Published: June 9, 2026 17:00
Louis de Funès is delightfully ill-tempered and, at times, hysterically funny. With the intense gestures and explosive tantrums that define his style, he injects vibrant energy into Jean Girault’s Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez, the first installment in the…
Walkabout, 1971 - ★★★★
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/walkabout/
Published: June 7, 2026 20:17
Together with Ted Kotcheff’s excellent Wake in Fright, Nicolas Roeg’s Walkabout stands as one of the earliest films of the Australian New Wave. Both works are powerful statements, offering eerily effective portrayals of human alienation. Walkabout features…
Gordon of Ghost City, 1933 - ★★★★
https://letterboxd.com/rchristiansen/film/gordon-of-ghost-city/
Published: June 7, 2026 16:49
Gordon of Ghost City is a Pre-Code movie serial based on Peter B. Kyne’s novel Oh, Promise Me!. Directed by Ray Taylor, it stars Buck Jones and Madge Bellamy, both delivering charming performances that often feel closer to screwball comedy than traditional…
