Le Pain du diable is a curious blend of crime, drama, and history that unfolds with a slow, deliberate pacing that invites you into its gritty world. The film's tone is dark and atmospheric, almost oppressive at times, which enhances the tension throughout its narrative. The performances are raw and unrefined, reflecting the desperation of the characters involved in a murky underworld. What stands out is its use of practical effects, lending an authenticity that you don't often see in contemporary films. There's a distinct sense of immersion into a period that's both fascinating and unsettling, making it an interesting watch for those who appreciate deeper historical narratives intertwined with crime.
