Clérambard (1969)

 A nobleman goes through a transforming experience (there are more detailed summaries online).

This isn't a terribly interesting film, I'm afraid. Partly, that's because the actions of the protagonist after his metamorphosis do not make much sense, despite the film's attempt, through some of the dialogue, to make us think otherwise. Well, from where I stand, giving away one's meager possessions at random is not a very rational or efficient way to end the world's "injustice". And it's the story of a man who goes from broke to destitute, therefore not exactly a paragon of self-sacrifice if you ask me. Anyway, what happens in this movie is rarely funny, and, while it's not extremely dull either, it is mostly barely entertaining.

Rating: 40
