After he steals money from his wealthy father one too many times, the rebellious François is forcibly committed to a psychiatric institution. After he steals money from his wealthy father one too many times, the rebellious François (Jean-Pierre Mocky, Litan) is forcibly committed to a psychiatric institution. Labelled a delinquent and an arsonist, he endures the dehumanizing treatment reserved for society's rejects, and attempts to thwart the archaic methods of the cruel Dr. Varmont (Pierre Brasseur, Children of Paradise). Adapted by Mocky from Hervé Bazin's shocking autobiographical novel, this poetic and furious debut feature from Georges Franju (Eyes Without a Face) features an all-star cast including Anouk Aimée (La Dolce Vita) as François's only visitor, Paul Meurisse (Diabolique) in the role of the more modern Dr. Emery, and Charles Aznavour (Shoot the Piano Player) as a long-time resident of the institution.

Description

A jewel thief must abandon his carefree lifestyle when he learns that his brother is part of a revolutionary group responsible for a brutal murder. A womanizing violinist and jewel thief (Jean-Pierre Mocky, Litan) must abandon his carefree lifestyle when he learns that his younger brother is part of the leftist revolutionary group responsible for the brutal murders of powerful men. Determined to save the life of his idealistic sibling, the cynical drifter becomes embroiled in a struggle that is not his to fight. A decade after appearing in La tête contre les murs, Jean-Pierre Mocky returned to acting with this profoundly satirical crime drama. Unflinching and heavily influenced by American cinema, Solo captures the visceral feeling of disillusionment of a post-1968 French society brimming with rage at the sinister powers that be.
