Last Known Address (1970)

A classic of the French policier genre, Dernier domicile connu, is the third film directed by José Giovanni, one that paints a sombre and disturbing portrait of police methods and gangster activity in the early 70s. Giovanni had scripted several notable French crime dramas, including Jacques Becker’s Le Trou (1960) (based on his first novel) and Jacques Deray’s Du rififi à Tokyo (1962). The authenticity and moral ambiguity that we find in Giovanni’s films follows from his own experiences as a juvenile criminal and then a convict (he came close to being guillotined for a series of murders perpetrated by the family gang he belonged to).

Last Known Address (1970)

Despite its slow pace and somewhat predictable plot, Dernier domicile connu manages to be a compelling and poignant drama, stylishly shot and with superlative contributions from its lead actors, Lino Ventura and Marlène Jobert. As we often find in José Giovanni’s films, there is an important political subtext, and here the writer-director militates strongly for protection of witnesses by the police.

Last Known Address (1970)

The film is one of the earliest examples of the neo-polar in French cinema, a development of the classic polar of the 1950s and 60s in which the police and authority figures in general would lose the moral high ground, becoming indistinguishable from crooks and mobsters as they pursue their own, morally dubious agenda.
Last Known Address (1970)

This might be my Jose Giovanni favorite.His third movie,it is perhaps his most endearing one.A really unusual thriller,which uses urban landscapes with great skill.We often seem to be lost in an ocean of windows ,which makes sense,because the plot is actually a search.

Last Known Address (1970)

Two cops,a man and a woman, (Ventura and Jobert)are looking for a witness for the prosecution .That man seems to have disappeared.So their investigation looks like a treasure hunt.They meet a lot of people,some of whom have known the mysterious guy.They learn that he is a widower living with his daughter.The girl herself is an enigma,being described as a fairy tale princess by some (Paul Crauchet) or a vicious Lolita (the woman with the cat).The woman cop even dreams of them,and that sequence is really excellent,as they seem more and more to be a mirage.

Last Known Address (1970)

There is something of John Huston in the conclusion of "dernier domicile connu" (last known address).It deals with cowardice ,sadness and despair,one of the harshest endings Giovanni ever filmed.Even if they succeeded in their mission,the two cops realize that they have been manipulated and that they have completely destroyed two human beings' happiness.

Last Known Address (1970)

Marlène Jobert has perhaps never been better than here.Once a enthusiastic rookie ,her despair is intense when the movie ends.Ventura portrays a fallen cop from the beginning: He was relegated to a local police station after having arrested a drunken rich kid.Disillusioned ,but still believing in what he's doing,he will become a broken man as the last lines read:life is lost when you did not live your life as you would have liked to.
Last Known Address (1970)
