Poulet au vinaigre (1985)

English title (apparently): Cop au Vin.

Based on the novel "Une mort en trop" (tr. One Death Too Many) by Dominique Roulet (1st ed. 1982).

In a small town, the postman and his crippled mother are pressured to sell their house to some guys who want to build a project there. A series of deaths and disappearances occur and Inspector Lavardin is called in to solve them.

Weak policier. The crimes don't make much sense, the main character is slightly ridiculous (he tries to drown one of the suspects in a sink!), flaunting a constant and irritating smirk, the young postman's mother is a stereotypical shrew.

Rating: 16
