Rialto Pictures has sent us a brand new domestic trailer for the recent 2K restoration of Julien Duvivier's classic film Panique (1946), starring Viviane Romance, Michel Simon, Max Dalban, Émile Drain, and Guy Favières.
Synopsis: "If I were an architect and I had to build a monument to the cinema," wrote Jean Renoir, "I would place a statue of Julien Duvivier above the entrance." Duvivier made 70 films between 1919 and 1967, many of them landmarks of French cinema. His first postwar project, a noir adaptation of Georges Simenon's Mr. Hire's Engagement, stars Michel Simon as a reviled voyeur framed for a murder by the girl he adores. Now widely considered the finest Simenon adaptation, the long-unseen Panique has finally been given the vivid restoration it deserves.
UPCOMING THEATRICAL SCREENINGS:
January 20 – 31 New York, NY FILM FORUM
February 3 – 9 Chicago, IL GENE SISKEL FILM CENTER
February 11, 13, & 16 Baltimore, MD THE CHARLES
*Last year, French label TF1 Video released Panique on Blu-ray as part of its Heritage series, but the French release is not English-friendly. You can see our listing of this release here.
