A city trembles before Solo (original title: Solo ; German alternative title: The Brut of Violence ) is a Franco - Belgian co-production from 1969 .
action
The Solo group tries to assassinate a Parisian upper class party. Chief Inspector Verdier takes over the investigation and receives a letter from a certain Virgil. He suspects that the perpetrators come from a student background and have left-wing extremist motives.
The violinist Vincent Cabral, Virgil's brother, a petty criminal who deals in stolen diamonds and supports Virgil financially, actually only wants to meet his brother and is drawn into the events. Virgil organizes another terrorist attack with Annabel, a co-conspirator, this time with a bomb. When the bomb attack succeeds, Vincent, who was also there in search of his brother, flees with Annabel in a freight train. Virgil is also in another car on the train.
Since Vincent and Annabel plan to cross the border in a train at night, a raid takes place in which Vincent is killed, while Annabel and Virgil manage to escape unmolested.
criticism
"A Franco-Belgian detective film made after the student riots (1968) that takes up the problem of youthful radicalism with its political and moral consequences, but largely gets stuck in improbabilities and platitudes."
