A masterpiece! French noir in English.
The atmosphere is absolutely right, and the acting, particularly Rowan Atkinson's, is quite brilliant.
I enjoyed it all the way through. The plot is of the right vintage for the period.
Margret's discomfort with his inability to solve the case, and his dogged determination to succeed against the odds is perfectly signaled. His great risk brings palpable suspense.
I've no idea why I guessed, and said, the occupation of his father a second before it was revealed - not quite deja vu, but something like that.
