Heads or Tails

Heads or Tails (Pile ou face, 1980) is a French crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Inspector Baroni is a widower who has barely left his house since his wife died. When Édouard Morlaix's wife goes out an upstairs window and the husband calls it a fall, something about the story won't let Baroni go.

The case is officially closed — no evidence, no charges. Baroni keeps pulling the thread alone. The film gradually shifts its focus from the question of guilt to something more unnerving: why is this particular inspector so determined to nail this particular man? Philippe Noiret and Michel Serrault, two heavy-hitters of French cinema, carry the whole thing at a low murmur — and Robert Enrico's direction never breaks that register.
