THE CLOCKMAKER OF ST. PAUL (L’HORLOGER DE SAINT PAUL,) 1974, Joseph Green Pictures, 105 min. In Bertrand Tavernier’s directorial debut, the actor who would come to be known as his “alter ego,” Philippe Noiret, stars as a father in silent denial of his son’s criminal activity, which ranges from destructive to heinous. A clear-eyed critique of the moral corrosion that lurks under - and is fed by - the bourgeois lifestyle. In French with English subtitles.
