Us Two (1979)
8/10
An interesting movie

It is not clear to me why this movie seems to be forgotten. It is easier to watch than most Lelouch movies I've seen, there are several original twists of plot... And there are Catherine Deneuve, Jacques Villeret and (in a very small role) my favorite French actor Daniel Auteil.

Deneuve's character is not a whore, she is a man-hater. She sleeps with men just to frame them in infidelity cases, or to blackmail them.

The Dutronc part of the story seems to me like it was taken from some Zola's novel; his way of life is determined by his heritage: he must be a thief.

The French police force in this movie is depicted as ruthless, emotionless bunch of killers that shoot first and ask questions later.

I recommend this movie to everyone, you can watch it just for fun or look closer and find out quite a few original scenes inside.
