Stavisky… [Limited Edition Blu-ray]

Explore the enigmatic life and downfall of Serge Alexandre Stavisky in Alain Resnais' characteristically fragmented drama, Stavisky…. This film delves into the months preceding the historical figure's death, examining the fallout as his financial crimes draw intense scrutiny from the French police. Watch as friends and foes circle Stavisky, leading to an inevitably violent political flashpoint.

Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo as Stavisky, the film is supported by a cast of French cinematic icons, making it a wonderfully enigmatic take on the cinematic biopic convention.
