France | 1970 | col | 89 mins | dir. Claude Sautet, with Michel Piccoli, Romy Schneider, Lea Massari | cert. 15

From its classic opening sequence, in which a successful architect crashes his car at an intersection, Sautet's breakthrough feature is thoroughly gripping with Piccoli in top form as a successful architect who reviews the recent events in his life at the moment of his death.
