A homeless young man, living in his delivery truck, is simultaneously adopted by a pranksome group of youngsters and made into a police informer. Believing that he is doing something good both for the other kids and for himself, he has no qualms.
Acting
Spiesser makes cluelessness heartbreaking; Huppert already magnetic at 23.
Direction
Fansten's documentary eye makes fiction feel stolen from real streets.
Director
Jacques Fansten
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Isabelle Hupbert's third film role; she'd make 6 more with directors Fansten knew before becoming the Huppert.
Released during France's 'polar' crime wave, but Fansten refused genre thrills—his informer films are about institutional rot, not suspense.
