Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who like stories that don't look away and crime fans. It deals with hard things honestly. Liked Anatomy of a Fall or Le Samouraï? This is a good next one. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
- The mood
- Tense and unsettling, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 38 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
- Not ideal if you just want to unwind.
A champagne tycoon's partner suspects his partner's gigolo husband of murders he's been framed for.
