20h30: France 1975, 90min. english subs
Based on a novel by Antonis Samarakis, Peter Fleischmann's La faille
also known as Weak Spot stars Ugo Tognazzi as Georgis, an innocent
tourist manager who's accused of being a member of the illegal
resistance movement in Greece during the brutal era of the military
government. Two secret agents (Michel Piccoli and Mario Adorf) are
bringing the innocent victim to Athens. During their trip, their car
breaks down, and they're stopping in a small village. From now on,
everybody is fighting against each other, and a psychological cat-and
mouse-play is starting.
Filmed shorty after the end of the military terror regime in Greece, "La faille" is less a political thriller in the wake of Watergate and Co. but rather a well-done psycho thriller about terror, angst, obedience, torture and sheer naked aggression. The plot focuses on the three men, all brilliantly played by the Italian-German cast of Tognazzi, Piccoli and Adorf, and the fast-pacing action of the second half of this movie and the surprising end makes this movie an outstanding European "Politthriller".
