Jacopo D Maigret non è un film che riesce a catturare lo spettatore, il giallo è già risolto sin dall'inizio, ci vuole solo una conferma che arriverà al più presto. Noioso. Si salva (come al solito) Depardieu con una splendida interpretazione. Si poteva scegliere un libro migliore del maestro Simenon Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Chris K Depardieu is very good, the look and feel are good, but the story is predictable and lifeless. Maigret comes across as a plodding gumshoe detective rather than the ingenious, dynamic director of police that he should be. The real Maigret has a sparkle in his eye. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Audience Member WIE NE SCHLECHTE FOLGE BULLE VON TÖLZ Ein junges Mädchen wird tot aufgefunden, der französische Bulle von Tölz will der Fall aufklären. Dies tut er dermaßen gelangweilt, daß man nach ca. 30 Minuten seinen Puls überprüfen muss ob man noch lebt. Zum Schluss ist war es mir dann echt egal wer der Mörder ist, Hauptsache französisch Tölz kann endlich final an seiner Pfeife ziehen. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review Gill T I didn't want it to end - the 1953 Paris detail and Dépardieu's sad, wise detective were compelling and the characters all have depth and are seen and understood close-up. The profound effect of the case on Maigret and how it leads him to behave are more important than the plot, which I also really enjoyed despite some unlikely details, partly because of the beauty of it all and the French dialogue. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review P M Maigret hat einen gewissen Stil, das muss man ihm lassen. Das war es aber auch fast schon. Sowohl die Handlung - besonders die Auflösung - als auch das Tempo lassen etwas zu wünschen übrig. Selbst mit der Einstellung, das dieser Film wohl nicht einer der größten Blockbuster Krimi/Detektivfilme werden wird, sondern eher ruhig und ohne Überraschungen auskommen wird hat er mich doch etwas endtäuscht. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/10/23 Full Review Mauro L (Mauro Lanari) Some lines of dialogue are fabulous, I don't know if they are by Simenon, Leconte or co-writer Tonnerre; other problems damage the quality of the film, which is a noir while many insist in calling it a crime drama, mystery or detective story. 1) By eliminating the complete title of the novel, 'Maigret et la jeune morte', the anhedonia manifested by the commissaire in the first scene lets itself be confused for a long time with the tragic weight of an exhausting job such as dealing with murders and killers. Instead it turns out that it is a paternal burden for the death of his daughter, as if the sepulchrality of Maigret's existence could be summed up in that omitted "jeune morte", so cumbersome as to be projected into far too many characters. The directing style has inexplicable oddities: rapid zooms, jumps in focus, jerks of the camera. 3) The 'physique du rôle' effect: maybe Jean Gabin, Gino Cervi and now Gérard Depardieu didn't even need to act.
