Audience Member Leisurely paced Chabrol mystery with a great performance by Depardieu. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review don s An extremely slow character study masquerading as a mystery. The mystery is low-key and not very interesting, and the interplay between the brothers, Bellamy and Jacques, was mean-spirited and unentertaining. Depardieu and Bunel are really good here, but not great enough to overcome the limping along story. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's amazing what a detective movie can do without gunplay. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member *Contains Spoilers* Inspector Bellamy, while it follows the French cinema stereotypes, is one of the most beautiful studies of humanity that I've ever seen. This slow French thriller, is absolutely stunning, in its underlining plot, which is fully revealed at the end. The central message is fairly clear, as inspected through Bellamy the people he surrounds himself with is what he becomes. When his thief half-brother comes to visit, he picks up his drinking habit. When he starts a studying his sexually obsessed "client" he becomes fishy that his wife is cheating. But really the film isn't about him studying anyone, but instead a soul search Of himself. Bellamy becomes Noel, his wife becomes Noel's wife, his brother represents the homeless man, and the store clerk represents the mistress. It really is beautiful when the puzzle comes together. Makes me want to watch more from Depardieu, who fits his character perfectly. A must watch of French cinema. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member not so much a whodunit then it was a drama about humans, relationships. a "thinking" film, not so suited for near bedtime viewing. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Huge disparity between critics and users regarding this film. I think because most go in looking for a murder mystery and that is the secondary plot line. The primary is a character study of Bellamy himself but this is not clear to well into the film or perhaps for some till the end.
