Hi-Jack Highway (Gas-Oil) (Blu-ray)
Dark roads, a stormy night and Jean Gabin are the primary ingredients in Hi-Jack Highway, aka Gas-Oil, a French noir gem. Gabin (Razzia Sur La Chnouf) cements his status as one of the pillars of French cinema with a moody and moving performance. And it gives Jeanne Moreau (Touchez Pas Au Grisbi), one of France’s greatest actresses, one of her first great roles. After spending the night with his girlfriend Alice (Moreau), trucker Jean (Gabin) encounters a dead body on the road home. He reports the incident to the police but they suspect that Jean is responsible for the death. And then there’s that nasty gang of crooks who also are harassing him. Jean is a victim of circumstance and forces beyond his control are closing in on him. But with Alice as his emotional base, he aims to rouse his trucker friends and turn the tables on the forces against him, in this dark and gripping drama co-written by Michel Audiard (Deadly Circuit) and directed by Gilles Grangier (Speaking of Murder).
