Act of Aggression
1975, R, 101 min.
Directed by Gérard Pirès, Narrated by , Voices by , Starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Catherine Deneuve, Claude Brasseur.

Sure it’s a French-Italian revenge giallo, but the real reason to see this movie is for the opportunity to see the one-and-only Catherine Deneuve naked. Deneuve’s co-star is the great Jean-Louis Trintignant, which automatically raises this crime thriller to the level of quality Eurotrash.
