 Le Combat Dans L'ille (1962) – Alain Cavelier.

Powerful noirish thriller about an increasingly tormented terrorist's (Jean Louis Trintignant) descent into escalating paranoia, monomania and murderous mayhem. With fascinating performances, lively filmmaking, and an especially gripping text, maestro Cavelier's masterful, politically savvy drama is utterly vital cinema, with many of the themes certainly no less relevant today. Once again, Radiance provides a beautifully restored monochrome print, and cinephiles are sure to appreciate the extras, including a truly exquisite Cevelier short. It must be noted that goddess Romy Schneider is on utterly ravishing form, luminously beautiful, she remains one of the most captivating screen presences of all time.
