France murder-mystery set in 1953 Paris, where the body of an elegantly dressed young woman is discovered at Place Ventimille.
There is nothing to identify her and no witnesses. Pensive and world-weary Inspector Jules Maigret (Gérard Depardieu) endeavours to piece together her story, and in doing so uncovers details about her past and character. In his enquiries, he encounters Betty (Jade Labeste), a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to the victim, but who also reminds him of one even closer to his own life

"Depardieu, controversial off screen, remains charismatic on it. But not, in this case, charismatic enough."
—
The Times
The Times"He waits. He is pensive. He is not blankly sullen, which is where so many actors go wrong. Depardieu captures all this."
—
Spectator
Spectator"Depardieu brings his natural charisma and watchful presence to the role, and he can bring off Maigret’s air of worldly, tolerant bemusement and distaste at the transparently guilty people."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Depardieu is a formidable presence, implacable, calm and resolute."
—
The Australian
The Australian"This is a more than minimal Maigret. It’s Maigret unplugged... If you are ready for Depardieu in quiet mode, it may suffice."

Sydney Morning Herald
Sydney Morning Herald"The film (is) static, slow and unengaging."
—
FilmInk
FilmInk"A wonderfully atmospheric, delectably melancholy portrait of the titular police inspector..."
