Flic Story

Directed by Jacques Deray

Produced by Adel Productions, Lira Films

A dark, melancholic neo-noir portrait of a man's descent into violence following personal tragedy, rooted in the gritty underworld of post-war Paris.

The film story depicts Emile Buisson, following the death of his wife and child, escaping from a psychiatric institution in 1947 and returning to Paris. Buisson, who three years later would become France's public enemy number one, begins a murderous rampage through the French capital.
