Only 24 reviews for such a great movie? This is sad.
PANIQUE is an amazing crime/drama, with emphasis on the "drama" element. This is not an action movie, with gangsters killing each other. This is a classy/sophisticated piece of art, dealing with issues as lust/passion/corruption/deceit/herd mentality etc. It's multilayered, covering a lot of ground of the "human situation". There are some unexpected turns ("turn" is more proper word than "twist") and it will surprise the viewer. I am being vague in order for not spoiling it, you should watch it without knowing anything about the plot.
Viviane Romance and Michel Simon are magnificent. I remember Simon from another great movie i watched recently (PORT OF SHADOWS), wow, what an actor! Vivian Romance did the unthinkable : Acting wise, she was equal to him.
Not much to say, just watch it if you are a cinephile or if you got tired with cinema mediocrity and you want to cleanse your soul.
