What Judge Fayard Called the Sheriff Is About
Jean-Marie Fayard is a young examining magistrate in a large provincial city. He is trying to practise justice the way his generation understands it: he takes a file all the way, uses methods nobody expects, and grants no one any privileges. Pressure comes down on him for it. He is criticised, warned, obstructed. Fayard does not step back. That is where the name the reporters give him comes from: the sheriff. Yves Boisset directs, with Patrick Dewaere as Fayard, alongside Aurore Clément and Philippe Léotard. It comes from Boisset's political-thriller vein: a film that looks straight at the rot inside institutions and lets nobody off. It runs a full hundred and twelve minutes.
