The Spy Catcher

aka Suspense au deuxième bureau

Poster of The Spy Catcher
  • There are two main reasons for sticking with the film. One is the score: a mixture of experimental free jazz and traditional jazz that is fun and interesting entertainment for the ears when there isn’t much for the eyes to feast upon. The other is the last 15 minutes, which contain a car chase through the Parisian night and subway fisticuffs … Photographed in film noir tradition, these sequences take on an almost expressionistic look, while the free jazz adds another level of tension to the goings-on.
