The latest film by Claude Chabrol career before his death in September, Inspector Bellamy 80 is an exercise intriguing diversion, built around the great figure of GĂ©rard Depardieu.
Depardieu plays character, Paul Bellamy, who is on vacation with his wife, Fran?oise, Marie Bunel) at their home in N?mes country.Bellamy apparently is one of most famous cops in Paris, even if we are ever given anything to support this notion, beyond having other characters to mention the famous how he est.Apparemment, he is known for its deductive skills - as opposed to some famous rogue killer COP instead of the infamous - but again, it is something that we have said, not shown.
Background on TV as he is working on a crossword and a cup of tea purr is a framework for insurance who has committed a kind of fraud, then fake his own death. But Bellamy, that he and his wife keep reminding people, is on holiday.
However, it is a pole of attraction for intruders.First is a foreigner, which hangs in the garden of his house, appears in the door and, finally, calls it to a nuit.Appeler himself Noel Gentil (Jacques Gamblin), eventually lures Bellamy to his hotel room where he admits that he committed a murder.
Second is half-brother of Bellamy, Jacques (Clovis Cornillac), a not ' er-do-well that is temporarily poured out, apparently not an uncommon situation with him. He moves in with Bellamys, sponge on them for money, power and the use of their car, even if it shears to and bickers with Paul.
Bellamy vacation turns into a busman holiday, that it uses his encounter with the murderer admitted to unravel a mystery involving the Executive insurance missing, the identity of the body used to false death and extra-marital entanglements that propelled his misadventures. Bellamy also finds himself uncomfortably reconnect with his half-brother, which introduces the suspicion again in the life of Bellamy on its own character and marriage.
Chabrol, however, is something different from that of a simple whodunit with classical resolution.Entire history of the impostor missing insurance is rather apparently a red herring, an excuse to tell a story about Bellamy and his compulsive work ethic destruction off-given to the people in his life and his apparent cluelessness about himself.
Who better to play a delicate Bull as Depardieu?In the middle age, approaching end of life circumference Brando or Welles.Yet it has lost none of its nose vitalité.Avec strangely presence (the only players with anywhere near as distinctive nose are Owen Wilson and Adrien Brody) and a smile that can pass malevolence, casually amusement there always obtained provides a touching vulnerability to this not-so-gentle giant moving sensitivity.
Bunel, as his long-suffering wife carries an air of mystery about his feelings for her dominant husband: is resignation? disease? contempt? tolerance? who maintains performance of fading background Institute maintains the public - and Bellamy - balance.
Off-balance sheet, in fact, was a State in which you want Chabrol keep its auditoire.Il succeeded one last time with the Inspector Bellamy, disturbing film reveals never quite in the way that wish audience.
