Wicked Games  — Three Films By Robert Hossein 11/04/25

Gaumont’s restoration brings back a trio of French-language thrillers by the under-appreciated actor-director Robert Hossein. Two are Euro-noir takes on steamy pulp fiction crime stories costarring the dreamy Marina Vlady; the third is a fatalistic political western made years before the Italians got into the act. Each has a hard edge and at least one surprisingly grim narrative twist. Hossein directed for the stage as well; the pictures showcase Henri Vidal, Serge Reggiani, Odile Versois, Giovanna Ralli and Mario Adorf. Plus, the disc is Region A compatible. On Blu-ray from Radiance Films.
