THE FIRE WITHIN (1963)
Feel the existential dread of THE FIRE WITHIN, a classic French masterpiece from Elevator to the Gallows (1958) director Louis Malle and star Maurice Ronet and Winner of the Special Jury Prize at Venice Film Festival.
Regarded as Louis Malle’s best work, THE FIRE WITHIN (LE FEU FOLLET) is a triumph of quiet style.
A penetrating, dark, yet often compassionate study of a man with one foot in the grave, and a searing commentary of modern society as Malle saw it.
