I... FOR ICARUS (1979)
While riding in his motorcade and greeting the crowd, president Marc Jarry is assassinated. A suspect is quickly apprehended at the scene, his weapon found on a nearby balcony. All members of the commission investigating the event agree with its findings – except for Henri Volney (Yves Montand, Choice of Arms), who reopens the case. Heavily inspired by the JFK assassination and taking its stylistic cues from American films like The Conversation and The Parallax View, this conspiracy thriller from Henri Verneuil (Any Number Can Win) is a procedural gem all its own. Delving into the psychology of responsibility, murder, and obedience – with a chilling reenactment of the Milgram experiment – I… for Icarus keeps its audience teetering on the line between healthy scepticism and paranoia.
