Last Known Address (Blu-ray)

French film greats Lino Ventura (Razzia sur la chnouf) and Marlène Jobert (Rider on the Rain) star in the gritty neo-noir gem, Last Known Address (Dernier domicile connu). Inspector Léonetti (Ventura), a tough, efficient Paris cop, has been exiled to a second-rate police station after being reprimanded. There he is given a partner, the young and beautiful Jeanne Dumas (Jobert). The duo are soon tasked with a very difficult mission: to find a man whose evidence is instrumental in convicting a master criminal. Their tenacity leads them through a maze of red herrings; meanwhile, they are pursued by an enigmatic gangster called Greg (Michel Constantin, Violent City). Written and directed by the famed crime-novelist/filmmaker José Giovanni (Classe tous risques, Le Deuxième souffle, Boomerang), Last Known Address is a taut, authentic police procedural highlighted by a propulsive musical score from Francois de Roubaix (Le Samouraï).
