Maigret - Saturday November 5

Scotiabank Theatre

6pm-7.30pm

Maigret investigates the death of a young girl. There is nothing to identify her, no one seems to have known her or remember her. He meets a delinquent, who strangely resembles the victim, and awakens in him the memory of another disappearance, older and more intimate...

Revues

Patrice Leconte revives the famous commissioner of the Quai des Orfèvres. Polar, sumptuous reconstitution, "Maigret", by the grace of Depardieu, also becomes a great film on the loss of a child.
The echoes

Gérard Depardieu brings a unique density and emotion to the character created by Georges Simenon.
20 minutes

Gérard Depardieu is more than one more Maigret, he is another Maigret: he is unique.
Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace

We had not seen Maigret on the screens since 1963, Leconte gave him back his place. To those who wonder about the need to resurrect it, the answer is in the masterful encounter of two giants, Depardieu and Simenon.
Franceinfo Culture

By adapting Maigret and the Young Dead, released in 1954, Patrice Leconte signs a very great film, expressionist and twilight, marked by the moving and grandiose interpretation of Gérard Depardieu.
La croix

Gérard Depardieu in Maigret, a simple marketing affair? Hopefully not. With a welcome sobriety, the actor, so often accustomed in recent years to shooting in turnips unworthy of his talent, embodies his character without ever adding to it or even seeming to play as his presence in the frame is enough to impose Maigret and his torments.
