7/10
a very atmospheric college murder case
24 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The supervisor of a college and a child are found hung. Some children don't believe in suicide and decide to investigate at night.

Night is the main atmosphere of the movie, very creepy with lot of shadows and smooth camera movements in an old college with archways. It is the very first movie photographed by Pierre Petit who must have seen Orson Welles movies and it's quite funny to watch such a light intrigue with strong dark black and white photography and accompanied with an intense music score. Pierre Petit and director Maurice Labro would later do "Un Fauve Est Lâché", an atmospheric gangster movie with Lino Ventura.

The casting has no stars but actors are all very convincing.

SPOILER : And the end is a true very big laugh, just love it.
