A few years ago The BFI showed a season of the films of Claude Sautet. It proved to be a revelation to many who were unfamiliar with his work.
The glum Simon Leotard is a businessman who confronts the greed of the rapacious Lepidon.After the suicide of one of his business partners,Leotard must honor some credence,as the hole created by the late's mismanagement amounts to 600 millions Francs.
In some ways, Claude Sautet's Mado is an inversion of his earlier Max et les ferrailleurs, which followed a protagonist played by Michel Piccoli as his scheming leads him to personal disaster and isolation; Mado starts with a no-less-consumed Piccoli protagonist, Simon, but this time the journey leads to an extended and surprising vision of community. Just as with Sautet's Cesar and Rosalie, there's an apparent structural oddity in the title: Mado isn't the main character (she's a prostitute with whom Simon has a relationship that causes him as much angst as pleasure), and her fate isn't the film's predominant preoccupation.
