Sans Mobile Apparent (aka Without Apparent Motive) (1971)

A police detective (Jean Louis Trintignant) is faced with a series of random killings of seemingly unconnected strangers by a sniper. Slowly, he discovers quite the opposite. There is a link between these victims and it's connected to their past and not only that but it hits close to home. Based on the novel TEN PLUS ONE by Ed McBain and directed by Philippe Labro (L'HERITIER). A nimble thriller in a glamorous setting (sun washed Nice in France). Labro succinctly lets the mystery unfold giving us just enough clues to piece the murder solution together. Full of atmosphere and a sense of looming fate. A must for murder mystery fans! The excellent underscore is by Ennio Morricone. With Dominique Sanda, Stephane Audran, Carla Gravina, Laura Antonelli, Jean Pierre Marielle, Paul Crauchet, Sacha Distel and Erich Segal (the author of LOVE STORY).
