Le Hasard et la Violence
is a strange French-Italian movie which came out in 1974 and was directed by
Philippe Labro
and written by
Jacques Lanzmann
. It was a time of thesis films on ultra-violence such as
Stanley Kubrick
's
A Clockwork Orange
(1971) and
John Boorman
's
Deliverance
(1972). Labro's feature film differs from those of his American counterparts by an almost dreamlike approach and a soft psychedelia. A sort of lysergic atmosphere that has more to do with the idea of an LSD trip at Castel's than with Californian counterculture. Mid-life crisis is embedded in this story of criminologist
Laurent Berman
(
Yves Montand
), vacationing on the French Riviera to write an essay on violence. He is both the victim of an assault and of his love for
Constance Weber
(
Katherine Ross
), a young doctor who pushes him over the edge. Within this cinematic paradigm, it was a stroke of genius to ask
Michel Colombier
to compose the music for his film. Michel Colombier, to recall, is a musician of classical formation, who went to the Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique in Paris. His music for
Le Hasard et la Violence
reflects his career: from
Gainsbourg
to the
Beach Boys
, via
Paul Williams
. A soundtrack that goes from neoclassical to contemporary, via groovy pop and slow music. Not to mention the main theme, a killer ballad with timeless lyrics. There is in the song performed by
Drupi
(known in France for "Vado Via"), a kind of romanticism specific to Colombier. Let's forget the post-post modern irony that is no substitute for intelligence and be caught by the emotional power of this soundtrack.
