The film story depicts Emile Buisson, following the death of his wife and child, escaping from a psychiatric institution in 1947 and returning to Paris. Buisson, who three years later would become France's public enemy number one, begins a murderous rampage through the French capital.
A grim, existential descent into post-war Paris. This film feels like a smoke-filled room, heavy with the weight of loss and the cold logic of a man pushed to the edge. It's a brutal, unflinching look at the consequences of despair.
