Synopsis
Deadly Circuit (Mortelle randonnée, 1983) is Claude Miller's French crime thriller, and you can watch it online on iFILM. An aging private eye nicknamed "the Eye" picks up the trail of a woman whose dates keep ending in fresh corpses.
Catherine switches names, wigs and lovers, leaving robbed and murdered men behind her. The detective has only ever watched her from a distance, yet he can't let go — in this cold-blooded killer he sees his own dead daughter. So rather than arrest her, he starts covering for her, wiping the trail and following her town to town. Isabelle Adjani plays the predator; Michel Serrault, her willing shadow.
Miller shoots it less as a manhunt than as a love affair at arm's length — a hunter who never wants the catch. A cool, elegant piece of 1980s French noir for viewers who like their leads quietly broken. Stream Deadly Circuit online on iFILM.
