Balles perdues

Balles perdues is a 1983 French crime thriller directed by Jean-Louis Comolli, who also wrote its screenplay. Running roughly 91 minutes, the film stars Maria Schneider and Charles Millot, with supporting appearances by Alexandre Arbatt, Andréa Ferréol and Capucine. Comolli, a filmmaker whose career moved between documentary and fiction, here works within the conventions of the crime genre while applying his own directorial sensibility. The picture forms part of his early-1980s feature output, a period in which he repeatedly engaged with popular genre frameworks rather than purely experimental forms.
