Gabriel Axel
Jean Carmet, Michel Bouquet
Father Birotteau and Father Troubert, both of whom are priests at Tours, have separate lodgings in the house belonging to the crabby spinster Sophie Gamard in that city. Birotteau is an other-worldly, gentle, introspective type; Troubert, who is ten years younger than his fellow boarder, is very much of the world: he is a careerist devoured by ambition.
Le Curé de Tours
Nous sommes tous des assassins
André Cayatte
Marcel Mouloudji, Raymond Pellegrin
Originally titled Nous Sommes Tout des Assassins, We Are All Murderers was directed by Andre Cayette, a former lawyer who detested France's execution system. Charles Spaak's screenplay makes no attempt to launder the four principal characters (Marcel Mouloudji, Raymond Pellegrin, Antoinine Balpetre, Julien Verdeir): never mind the motivations, these are all hardened murderers. Still, the film condemns the sadistic ritual through which these four men are brought to the guillotine. In France, the policy is to never tell the condemned man when the execution will occur--and then to show up without warning and drag the victim kicking and screaming to his doom, without any opportunity to make peace with himself or his Maker. By the end of this harrowing film, the audience feels as dehumanized as the four "protagonists." We Are All Murderers was roundly roasted by the French law enforcement establishment, but it won a special jury prize at the 1952 Cannes Film Festival.
We Are All Murderers
L'école buissonnière
Jean-Paul Le Chanois
Bernard Blier, Juliette Faber
По произведению Элизы Фрейне. Паскаль (Бернар Блие), молодой студент педучилища, тяжело раненный на фронте в 1918 году, в октябре 1920-го получает работу в школе деревни Салез департамента Верхний Прованс. Он отказывается от формалистской и армейской дисциплины своего предшественника, старого Арно; например, разбирает на дрова кафедру, чтобы покончить с сыростью в классе. От этой новости старого учителя чуть не хватает удар. Цель учебных методов Паскаля - раскрыть душу, личность каждого ученика и пробудить в детях жажду знаний. Взрослые (в особенности - уважаемые жители деревни) не доверяют его добрым намерениям.
