Considered Sacha Guitry's masterpiece, this fleet, witty picaresque about a gambler and petty thief is a whimsical delight. Guitry himself stars as the "tricheur" looking back fondly on a life of crime, which he narrates with an effervescence matched by his clever editing and cinematography.

Recensie (1)
A film where form is definitely a crucial element. Essentially, the whole movie is narrated through voice-over, which is a component that simply captures your attention. It reminds you of the beginning of "Amélie," but on the other hand, it's not quite as imaginative and humorous. It is very apparent in the film that the creator had a fondness for theatrical aesthetics, which significantly influenced the movie.
