English titles: The Escape; Out of It
May 1968. A lawyer is visiting his sentenced-to-death client when a prison riot bursts. The lawyer is wrongfully accused of assaulting a prison guard; his client escapes. Later, the two rejoin and go through several incidents while on the run.
Mildly entertaining comedy with a frantic pace. As is usual in this director's movies, everything is very well done but also very formulaic; the setting at the time of the 1968 student rebellion adds to the film's interest, although the film is not very interested in politics.
