Gérard Depardieu, renowned for his roles in "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "Welcome to New York," brings to life one of the most cherished characters from twentieth-century crime fiction in the captivating film "Maigret." This exquisite and masterfully directed crime drama is the creation of BAFTA-winning filmmaker Patrice Leconte, known for works like "L’homme du train" and "La fille sur le pont." The movie draws inspiration from Georges Simenon's internationally best-selling novels.
Set in Paris in 1953, the story begins when the lifeless body of a stunning young woman is found at Place Ventimille, elegantly clad in an evening gown. With no means of identification and no witnesses in sight, Inspector Jules Maigret (Depardieu), a contemplative and world-weary detective, embarks on a mission to reconstruct her tale. As he delves into the mystery, he uncovers intricate details about her past and character that paint a vivid picture of her life.
Dazzler Media presents new crime mystery, Maigret, starring Gérard Depardieu and based on the best-selling books, releasing in selected UK cinemas from 1st September.
