Boomerang Aka Comme Un Boomerang (Blu-ray)

International icon Alain Delon (Un Flic, Icy Breasts) delivers a fine dramatic performance in Boomerang (Comme un boomerang), a compelling father-and-son story from the famed crime-novelist/filmmaker José Giovanni (Birds of Prey, Last Known Address, Scoumoune). While under the influence of drugs, a teenager, Eddy, kills a policeman. His father, Jacques (Delon), pleads extenuating circumstances and nearly succeeds in gaining the confidence of the policeman’s widow…until the press reveals that Jacques is an ex-gangster who has spent time in prison. The film’s title refers to the cyclical nature of violence and retribution, and how a man’s past actions can reverberate through future generations. Co-written by Delon himself, Boomerang features Carla Gravina (The Antichrist), Charles Vanel (The Wages of Fear) and a musical score by the great Georges Delerue (The Day of the Jackal, The Day of the Dolphin). 2021 4K Restoration | NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historians Howard S.
