Chabrol is 78, and this is his 57th film. He’s in fine form here, though this hasn’t quite got the delirious malice or the cloying bourgeois atmosphere of his most potent works. The closing dedication is to “the two Georges.” They are Georges Brassens, the French singer-songwriter, and Georges Simenon, the prolific Belgian-born maker of novels hard and soft and the creator of the inimitable Commissioner Maigret. This is the first time Chabrol and Gérard Depardieu have worked together. For the occasion, Chabrol has conceived a lead character who’s half Maigret, half Depardieu. And he has based his crime plot on a news item. The ingredients blend well and the result is guaranteed to entertain.
There is an actual Maigret novel in which the Paris detective goes on vacation with his wife, but then becomes involved in a case. (‘Les Vacances de Maigret’–and it was made into a film!) It’s a foregone conclusion that Maigret, and Chabrol’s Commissioner Paul Bellamyworki (Depardieu) is no different, is happiest when he’s solving a murder mystery. Bellamy spends every summer with his wife Françoise (Marie Bunel) in the region of Nimes, in the south of France, where she maintains a cozy bourgeois family house. She would prefer they join a cruise on the Nile, where Bellamy would be less able to get his nose into French crime, but here they are. And as the film begins and Maigret, I mean Bellamy, is doing a crossword and Françoise is planning dinner and shopping, a suspicious-looking lean sort of fellow called Noël Gentil (Jacques Gamblin) is hovering around in the garden just outside the picture window, and finally gets up his courage and raps on the front door. Bellamy has written a well known memoir and like Maigret is so famous people seek him out…..
