Also known as: Les gants blancs du diable
Description: im going with the camp genre here, and not just because of the 3.2/10 IMDB rating (only 7 votes, though) but as i think that this crazy flick was indeed intended as a “bad movie”…and no sub-genre, as i wouldnt really know which one to choose : crime ? cult ? exploitation ? politics ? …or even arthouse – not just because of the very arty cast & crew, but, as you will see below, because Francois Truffaut himself used to talk very highly of this little UFO
the OST for this flick (by Karl Heinz Schaeffer) was gloriously re-issued fairly recently, and it gathered a pretty cultish following, it seems : most of what you will find about “Les Gants Blancs du Diable” on the net is actually about the OST
Review: Truffaut nailed it perfectly. Take out the two horrible and useless scenes with Bernadette Laffont and you have a perfect little thriller, weird and fucked-up as can be.

regarding the useless scene with Bernadette Laffont: during that part, the subtitle has a few unimportant lines missing, and they are replaced by something better, some personal comments from the translator, funny as hell…
