Réalisateurs : Pitof
“Vidocq died!” Never the advertisement of the disappearance of a robber will not have at this point upset All-Paris. And due! Passed of the clan of driven out with that of the hunters, this ex-convict, become prefect of police force under the empire and the Restoration, was on the track of an appalling masked killer and its investigation seemed to touch with the goal. On an original and percussion scenario of Jean-Christophe Grangé (the Rivers crimsons), which one reconnait easily here and there the macabre keys, legendary François Vidocq takes again service under the features of our good old man Gerard Depardieu. But the principal interest of this Gothic thrillor lies in the innovative process employed since it is about very first film in the world carried out in numerical cinema. If it takes certainly a considerable time of adaptation to this new technique, the result is not less impressive: the decorations and the external environment, entirely reconstituted by computer, offer a meticulousness of the detail suitable to reconstitute the cold, lugubrious and unhealthy universe of Paris of 1830, and to reinforce the latent visceral fear and the unrestrained rate/rhythm imposed by Grangé and Pitof.
