Barocco

Early performances from Gerard Depardieu and Isabelle Adjani in Andre Techine's labyrinth thriller set in the seedy red light district of Amsterdam and combining moody film noir with aspects of German expressionism. Samson is a petty thug who has potentially incriminating evidence against an electoral candidate. He plans to sell it to a tabloid newspaper for a payoff enabling him to start a new life with his girlfriend Laura but the couple are forced to flee when an accomplice is murdered.
