Synopsis:
In this characteristically fragmented drama, celebrated auteur Alain Resnais (Last Year in Marienbad) explores the months leading up to, and examines the consequences of, the death of historical figure and political enigma, Serge Alexandre Stavisky (Jean-Paul Belmondo, Breathless).
Stavisky... follows its subject as he tries to hold on to the illusion of control when his financial crimes come under intense scrutiny from the French police. Friends and foe alike circle him like vultures, all leading to an inevitably violent political flashpoint.
Featuring a supporting cast of French cinematic icons, including Charles Boyer (When Tomorrow Comes), Anny Duperey (Two or Three Things I Know About Her), Michel Lonsdale (Behold a Pale Horse), and Gérard Depardieu (Buffet froid), Stavisky… is both criminally underseen and a wonderfully enigmatic take on the convention of the cinematic biopic.
