| Summary: | After garnering international acclaim for such seminal crowd-pleasers as The lovers and zazie dans le métro, Louis Malle gave his fans a shock with The fire within (le feu follet), a penetrating study of individual and social inertia. Maurice Ronet (Elevator to the Gallows), in an implosive, haunted performance, plays Alain Leroy, a self-destructive writer who resolves to kill himself and spends the next twenty-four hours trying to reconnect with a host of wayward friends. Unsparing in its portrait of Alain's inner turmoil and shot with remarkable clarity, The fire within is one of Malle's darkest and most personal films. |
