Panique (Julien Duvivier, 1947) TVrip VO+SI
Pánico

Plot:
A criminal (Paul Bernard) meets up with his mistress (Viviane Romance), just released
from jail after taking a fall for him. He has murdered an old woman for her money, and
the only person who knows he did it is a gloomy loner (Michel Simon) who is in love
with the mistress. The two proceed to divert suspicions to this man, who is disliked by
the townspeople, so that they can escape.

Review:

Duvivier was one of the masters of the prewar French style known as "poetic realism."
Panique is a continuation in that vein, but somewhat darker and more pessimistic in
tone. The events of the war, during which he fled to the U.S., seems to have embittered
him. The film's main virtue is its depiction of the way public opinion in the town is
inflamed, through innuendo and idle talk, into a lynch mob mentality. This theme is
developed very carefully, with the tension mounting in perceptible stages up to the
breaking point. In this respect it's one of the more interesting allegories of the
dangers of mob rule on film. It also boasts a sensitive, subtly nuanced performance by
Simon as the hapless scapegoat blinded by his obsession with a woman. He was one of the
most consistently excellent actors in film history, and the picture is worth a look
just for him.

Darker in tone and more pessimistic than even the director’s poetic realist films of
the late 1930s, the film makes some shocking statements about the less honorable side
of human nature. The lead female character (played by Viviane Romance) is portrayed
both as a beautiful ingenue and as a heartless schemer with a sickening talent for
guilt-free duplicity - a combination that a contemporary cinema audience would have had
some difficulty accepting. More significantly, the film shows how human beings can
become unthinking animals when the pack mentality asserts itself - a reference perhaps
to the conflict which had almost ravaged the planet over the past six years. The ease
with which seemingly rational individuals allow themselves to be duped and then
degenerate into a destructive anonymous mob is brilliantly captured in the film's
harrowing climax.
