SOLO

Unflinching and heavily influenced by American cinema, SOLO is the visceral feeling of disillusionment in a post-’68 French society brimming with rage at the world’s sinister powers. A decade after appearing in HEAD AGAINST THE WALL, Jean-Pierre Mocky returned to acting with this profoundly satirical crime drama. A womanising violinist / jewel thief (Mocky) abandons his carefree lifestyle when he learns his younger brother is part of the leftist revolutionary group responsible for recent brutal murders of powerful men. Determined to save his idealistic sibling, this cynical drifter becomes embroiled in a struggle that’s not his to fight.
