I was not cheated

I don't know the filmography of female director Yannick Bellon, she seemed to be a very sensitive film maker, never hesitating to speak of hot subjects, daring topics, especially for those seventies and eighties period. Victor Lanoux is absolutely unique, outstanding in this very difficult role; and believe me, I am not a fan of this kind of plot, I am not a fan of BROADBACK MOUNTAIN, if you see what I mean? This film is fascinating, riveting, terrific, and the directing skills are jawdropping. I am not tired of watching this unforgettable film, very well made, maybe one of the best about homosexuality with men. I don't think that French policemen have the right to shoot a suspect in the back if the latest tries to escape. If they do, Internal Affairs will take the case....
