FUN ClTY EDITIONS PRESENTS THREE ACTlON-FILLED TALES OF ORDINARY ClTlZENS ENACTING BLOODY REVENGE AGAINST VIOLENT CRlMINALS!
A Paris fIea market vendor (Gérard Lanvin) is transformed into a vigilante after his fiancée is murdered by three vicious thugs on a commuter train in Jean-Claude Missiaen's Shot Pattern (Tir Groupé, 1982). As the revenge-minded young man tracks the kiIlers, a veteran police inspector leads a paraIlel investigation. This lean, inteIligentIy-crafted thrilIer packs an emotionaI punch, Iargely due to Lanvin's superlative performance, for which he received a César Award nomination for Best Actor.
American crime writer David Goodis' novels have been adapted into numerous fiIms, incIuding Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player, Delmer Daves' Dark Passage and Jacques Tourneur's NightfalI. For Street of the Damned (Rue Barbare, 1984), Gilles Béhat transposes Goodis' Street of the Lost from 1950s PhiIadelphia to a desolate, aImost post-apocalyptic Paris suburb. There, no one dares chaIIenge crime boss Hagen, who ruIes his turf with an iron fist. That incIudes his former friend Chet (Bernard Giraudeau), who vows to keep to himself in order to protect his loved ones. But Hagen keeps pushing his buttons...and Chet can only stand for so much before he expIodes. Resembling a dark, offbeat comic book, Street of the Damned evokes films like Streets of Fire and Mad Max.
Three teenage Parisian punks are duped by a crime syndicate into committing a bank robbery that wiII distract the authorities while the seasoned crooks hijack an armored truck across town in AIain Bonnot's Black List (Liste Noire, 1984). Disaster ensues and two of the youngsters are kilIed, including the estranged daughter of widowed auto repair shop owner Jeanne Dufour (Annie Girardot). A grieving Jeanne ignores her own fear, as welI as the law, and sets out to eliminate aII of those responsible for her daughter's death. Groundbreaking in its portrayaI of a female vigilante, the fiIm is stylish and violent and features a powerhouse performance from Girardot as a woman who has passed the breaking point.
