Film Synopsis
Giovanni was leading a successful career as a banker before he suddenly made
up his mind to devote the rest of his life to wine. In next to no time,
he acquired a reputation as a wine taster and wine expert of the first calibre,
and he was never happier than he is now. Then, one day, his wife Adèle
is found dead. All the evidence is against Giovanni and he is soon
arrested for his wife's murder. In the course of the criminal investigation

Now the chickens have come home to roost, with the worst possible of hangovers...

The very best of the French New Wave
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
