Passage secret (1985): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1985, Passage secret is a notable film directed by Laurent Perrin, running about 85 minutes.

What it’s about. In a somewhat deflated story of robbery and deception set against the rooftops and byways of Paris, a group of enterprising petty thieves take advantage of the dog days of August to burglarize vacated apartments. At this time of year, all Parisiens are on vacation elsewhere, and the city is invaded by tourists on vacation from their own cities. In this mass rearrangement of the European population, the thieves get away with their looting until they run into an architect who catches them in the act. But his morals are nothing to brag about, as he gets more involved in what they are doing and wants some of their take. He is also smitten with one of the down-and-out women the thieves have been supporting (Dominque Laffin). As in so many French dramas, these conflicting relationships are doomed to be resolved only by tragedy.

Who’s in it. Passage secret stars Dominique Laffin as Anita, François Siener as Serge, Franci Camus as Camille and Julien Dubois as Jeannot, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, Passage secret has proved divisive with audiences.
