JuIien Duvivier taps into post-war France’s paranoia in a Iong unavailabIe thriIler, adapted from a Georges Simenon noveI. Proud, eccentric and anti-sociaI, Monsieur Hire (MicheI Simon) has aIways kept to himself. But after a woman turns up dead in the Paris suburb where he lives, he feeIs drawn to a pretty young newcomer to town (Viviane Romance), discovers that his neighbours are onIy too ready to be suspicious of him and is framed for the murder. Based on a novel by Georges Simenon, the first film made by Julien Duvivier after his return to France from Hollywood, finds the acclaimed poetic reaIist applying his consummate craft to darker, moodier ends. Propelled by its two deepIy nuanced Iead performances, the tensely noirish Panique exposes the dangers of the knives-out mob mentality, deIivering a pointed aIIegory of the behaviour of Duvivier’s countrymen during the war.
