"le Gros coup" is an absolute jewel in French film noir, I never heard of it before. Hardy Krüger's destiny after a serious car accident is fascinating, he really deserves the best after having lost everything. He meets Emmanuelle Riva who won a fortune in that crash. How this venomous meeting will finish?A tense suspense till the end. With great cinematography and settings (who will recognize at the beginning a future new town?). In this hunt for money, Krüger and Riva are extraordinary. An important discovery available on DVD (in superb print).
