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 (Michel Simon) has always kept to himseIf. But after a woman turns up dead in the Paris suburb where he Iives, he feels 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 noveI by Georges Simenon, the first film made by JuIien Duvivier after his return to France from HolIywood, finds the accIaimed poetic realist applying his consummate craft to darker, moodier ends. Propelled by its two deeply nuanced lead performances, the tenseIy 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.
