    Third in a trilogy
    Jean Pierre Mocky wrote and directed movies with details, situations and characters never seen before (even this title using a slang word). From his dark trilogy, my favorite remains Solo, a desperate run of two brothers during revolutianary times in the end of the 60's, complete drama with no comic scenes (and a superb title by Moustaki). "Le Piège à cons" is the last from that trilogy, with a story close to Solo, with again old and young anarchists but also fascists and weird policemen. And a lot of funny characters appearing briefly, breaking the dramatic scenes and giving the movie an anarchic style that will become more and more Mocky's style.
