Barocco

Put on your thinking cap for this startling Hitchcockian drama! Gerard Depardieu and Isabelle Adjani star in "Barocco" (1976), a thrilling, scandalous take on murder, lies and blackmail. During an election, Depardieu - an ex-prizefighter - is bribed to say he had a homosexual affair with one of the candidates. After he accepts the money for his lie, he brutally murdered. Strangely, his murderer is a dead-ringer for the prizefighter himself. Adjani co-stars as Depardieu's girlfriend, who ends up falling for his murderer as the situation deteriorates even further.
