Thank Goodness, MAIGRET Is Still On the Job!
This is my second experience with the character of MAIGRET - I recently had the good fortune of reviewing SET 7. Having enjoyed most of what I saw there, I was enthusiastic about getting into SET 8. Bruno Cremer is such a delight - he inhabits the role of the seasoned police commissioner who serves almost as a mentor to many younger inspectors with tremendous grace. While I'll admit that I didn't find all of these stories up to the high standards set by the previous collection, there are a few solid winners in here ... and even the bad ones aren't really all that bad.
(NOTE: The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary solely for the discussion of plot and characters. If you're the kind of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I'd encourage you to skip down to the last three paragraphs for my final assessment. If, however, you're accepting of a few modest hints at `things to come', then read on ...)
As the spoiler rules really...
The Best Portrayal of Jules Maigret
Simenon would be pleased by the performances given by Bruno Cremer in this series. The supporting staff is outstanding, as well, and the background bring a strong aura of realism to most of the episodes. If you have not yet met Chief Superintendent Maigret, you are missing one of the most believable characters on DVD. Simply put, these are the best detective stories you can find on DVD.
WHO CARES ABOUT THE BOX COVER. IT'S THE MOVIES WE LOVE!
MY TITLE SAYS IT ALL. THEY ARE INSTRUCTING ME TO SAY MORE, BUT WHEN SOMETHING IS PERFECT, WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY?
