646f9e108c Interpol investigates the freelance killings of drug and porn peddlers. This movie is not for everyone, but I think it is a 70&#39;s classic. Directed by Romain Gary, and starring his wife Jean Seberg (just after her nervous breakdown), this is a strange, dreamlike, bizarre film. There are some great moments in this film- sort of a cross between a spaghetti western, ClockWork Orange and Performance. Jean Seberg herself is perfectly cast in thisthe bored housewife Emily looking for a thrill–and off to Pakistan (well, OK it was filmed in Spain) she goes! The renegade she meets, Brad Killian (name obviously in reference to his dedicated profession of killing every drug runner he can find), is played by the wonderful Stephen Boyd. In his leather-clad outfit and wild hair, he makes for a great anti-herohe seduces Emily, and turns the cards on her husband, played by the excellent James Mason. The music is amazing, and there are a host of classic Italian character actors in this flickthe bad guys. Oh, and Curd Jergens shows up too! It&#39;s a great 70&#39;s trip - I highly recommend this if you can track it down on IOFFER. I stumbled across this film while browsing Netflix. Worth the rent! Anyone who loved Jean Seberg will love this film. She&#39;s terrific. This role shows her at her tragic best. <br/><br/>Those of you who are used to the American style of crime movie might not get this film. Romain Gary&#39;s approach is one of minimalist absurdity. This is much more French ala Goddard than French Connection. But give it a chance. View with no expectations and perhaps you&#39;ll see the film for what it is. <br/><br/>Stephen Boyd is no slouch either. His scenes with Seberg are very disturbing.
