Trivia
Long focal telephoto lenses were used for the scenes showing the gendarmes and the media watching the farmhouse at a distance, whereas 40 and 50mm lenses in contrast where used for the tight interior scenes showing the father and his children gathered in defense against the outside world.

Last stand for the main character but also for the director

This is the last film of Robert Enrico, the most popular film director from the sixties and seventies; check his filmography: LES AVENTURIERS, LES GRANDES GUEULES, LE VIEUX FUSIL. In this social drama, tragic and gloomy plot, you may find some accents, some elements that you already had in the sixties, seventies, Enrico's highlight period. For instance the music score that evokes westerns,as you had in LES GRANDES GUEULES. And it takes place in the countryside settings that Enrico monitored very well, all long his career. Charles Berling is excellent and gripping in this desperate character. Unfortunately inspired from actual events. And, as in LE VIEUX FUSIL, another Robert Enrico's film, the most famous one, the lead character fights alone against his opponents with an old fashioned gun.
