Description:
RADIANCE PRESENTS THIS CLASSIC FRENCH FILM NOIR WRITTEN BY LOUIS MALLE MAKING ITS DEBUT ON BLU-RAY IN THIS SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION.
Clement (Jean-Louis Trintignant, Il sorpasso) is a wealthy son of an industrialist who lives a secret life as a right-wing terrorist. Double-crossed following an assassination attempt he flees to the countryside with his wife, Anne (Romy Schneider, La piscine) where they stay with his childhood friend, Paul (Henri Serre, Jules et Jim). Clement plots his revenge but Anne falls for Paul and a love triangle is just one of many complications in this multi-layered discovery from the French New Wave. With the support of producer Louis Malle, Alain Cavalier (Fill 'Er Up with Super) directed his debut, a noirish drama beautifully shot by cinematographer Pierre Lhomme (Army of Shadows). While echoing the political turmoil of the 1960s, the film probes bourgeois values and the relationship between sex and violence, acting as a precursor to The Conformist and demonstrating the influence of Chabrol.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Romy Schneider Fans!
My favorite Romy Schneider movies are the ones that she made in the fifties in Austria and Germany and in the sixties in France.This is one of the better movies from the early sixties when she was still engaged to French superstar Alain Delon living and working in France."Le combat dans l'ile" is even today very watchable (something I cannot say about her later French movies with Michel Piccoli or Yves Montand). I watched it several times over the past three decades and still love it.Definitely 5 stars!Another tip: "Purple Noon" aka "Plein soleil" with Alain Delon from 1960, the best Ripley adaptation based on Patricia Highsmith's 5 Ripley novels. Although Romy is only in one short scene, I still would like to recommend this unforgettable French masterpiece by René Clément.[...]The score is very haunting.
3.0 out of 5 stars A pretty black and white suspense film
A pretty black and white suspense film. Good, not great. I think it would have been improved by eliminating the narration.
2.0 out of 5 stars Deux calvados s'ilvous plait, Mousieur, je fait le Combat contre-- L'Ennui!
Good actors wasted on unreal characters, empty script. Soundtrack sounds like heating system gone bad. Disappointment. There is no 'Combat' because the characters are not real. Romy great to look at, as always. Final duel is pretty awful, no tension. Mozart comes off fine, but then he is Mozart.
2.0 out of 5 stars The film is not what the title suggest
The story, acting and cinematography are fair, yet the whole is less than the sum of the parts. It left me unsure where "The Combat" was supposed to be.

le combat dans l'île
Très bon film à voir ou revoir absolument et des acteurs hors normes.
Ein agressiver Killer zieht seine Spur bis zum wohlverdienten Ende
Romy Schneider spielt ihre Rolle zwischen zwei Männern, von denen der eine, Clement, ein blutrünstiges, eiskaltes Tier ist, das auch sie immer wieder misshandelt und schlägt. Es wird deutlich, dass sie zwar nicht masochistisch veranlagt ist, aber so unsicher, voller Angst vor dem Leben und von Minderwertigkeitskomplexen geplagt, dass sie alleine nicht zu leben wagt und sich auf Gedeih und Verderb an einen starken Mann klammert. Obwohl sie mit Pauls Unterstützung später wagt, auf die Theaterbühne zurückzukehren, lernt sie nicht eigentlich dazu, denn ihm gegenüber nimmt sie dieselbe Haltung erneut ein. Nur ist er eher liebevoll und beschützend. Trintignant spielt seine unsympathische Rolle überragend. Er hat in mir Hassgefühle geweckt, obwohl mir doch klar war, dass ich einen Film sah. Aber Grausamkeit gegen Frauen vermag ich nicht zu ertragen. Serre bleibt eher blass, während Romy ganz auf der Höhe der Handlung spielt und so schön und reizvoll ist wie immer. Auch die Lepvrier ist eine Augenweide. Abgesehen von diesen Charakterskizzen bleibt der Film im Kern belanglos, denn die konstruierte Handlung vermag einen nicht wirklich in ihren Bann zu ziehen. Sie ist ein durchsichtiger Vorwand, die Akteure, Lieblinge des französischen Publikums, wirksam in Szene zu setzen. Voila - da haben wir sie.
Terrorist attempts assassination .

Le combat dans l'île
C'est le premier long métrage que Alain cavalier réalise sur un scénario écrit par lui-même et Rappeneau.L'action se déroule en 1961-1962. Après la tentative de putsch organisée par l'OAS qi vit ses derniers moments officiels. Le film met en scène un membre d'un groupuscule d'extrême droite qui participe à des attentats ou des opérations de vendetta contre des traitres à l'organisation.C'est dans ce contexte que Clément (JL Trintignant) et Anne (Romy Schneider) voient leur couple se déchirer à cause d'une jalousie maladive de Clément, teintée de racisme et se traduisant par une violence destructrice vis-à-vis d'Anne. Ils se réfugient chez Paul, un ami d'enfance de Clément qui, manifestement, n'adhère pas aux convictions de Clément. Lors d'une absence prolongée de Clément, Anne et Paul deviennent amants. A son retour, la jalousie et la rage de Clément ne connait plus de limites…L'apport politique finalement n'interfère que peu dans l'intrigue générale sinon pour en rajouter une bonne couche sur le comportement violent de Clément. Jean-Louis Trintignant excelle dans ce genre de rôle d'homme traqué, rancunier, agressif, qui prépare soigneusement sa vengeance : il incarne ici le rôle d'une bête malfaisante et malsaine dans sa relation avec une femme.Romy Schneider joue le rôle d'une femme, Anne, détruite par un amour qui la consume et la dévalorise (elle est actrice et a abandonné sa carrière car elle pense qu'elle n'est pas à la hauteur). Puis se reconstruit auprès de Paul et reprend sa carrière au théâtre (Trintignant qui assiste à une représentation reconnait qu'elle n'a jamais aussi bien joué).Le rôle de Paul est joué par Henri Serre. Peu de choses à en dire car son rôle est beaucoup plus simple sinon qu'il est le négatif de Clément.Bien qu'Alain Cavalier ne fasse pas vraiment partie de la Nouvelle Vague, on ne peut s'empêcher d'y penser lorsqu'on écoute les dictions détachées, "métalliques", "indifférentes" de Henri Serre et de Jean-Louis Trintignant ou de la voix off du narrateur (Jean Topart).La musique, déstructurée, moderne et "aseptisée" qui convient très bien à la première partie du film où on assiste à la destruction de Romy Schneider contribue aussi à cette impression de "Nouvelle Vague"
