Joy House: Review

starstarstarstar
This French production features Delon as a man on the run. He has had an affair with the wife of a top New York mobster and must flee for his life. Albright finds him hiding in a mission for the poor and hires him as her chauffeur. While at the chateau, he meets Albright's niece, Fonda, and discovers Oumansky, Albright's lover. (Oumansky, who has murdered Albright's husband, must now hide in the chateau.) At this point Albright and Oumansky plot to kill Delon to get his passport, thus enabling Oumansky to escape to South America. But Delon and Albright have an affair, and when Oumansky discovers this he kills Albright instead. Subsequently Oumansky is killed by the gangsters who mistake him for Delon. Fonda and Delon are hiding the bodies when she learns he plans to leave without her. She therefore dupes the police into believing Delon is guilty of the murders, and he must now hide in the chateau (like Oumansky before him). The confusing plot, unfolding in an uneven mix of American- and French-style filmmaking, just doesn't work, and the film quickly becomes incomprehensible and dull. Fonda is all wrong for the part, and the talents of Delon and Albright are completely wasted. Famed director Costa-Gavras served as an assistant director. leave a comment
