Weak Spot 01/04/25

aka Le faille.  Radiance comes up with yet another exotic Eurothriller. Author Antonis Samarakis’ first-person experience informs this sophisticated study of the psychology of detectives operating in a police state. An apparently ordinary guy is snatched from the street and accused of being a subersive; two cops take him ‘for a ride’ in hopes that he’ll talk. Ugo Tognazzi is the pigeon and Michel Piccoli & Mario Adorf are the ‘friendly’ potential torturers. Peter Fleischmann’s sly direction underscores a number of story twists and surprises. The music score by Ennio Morricone seals the deal. On Blu-ray from Radiance Films.
