Choice of Arms

£14.99

Released: 20th July 2026. Noël (Yves Montand, Police Python 357) leads an quiet life with his wife (Catherine Deneuve, Mississippi Mermaid) raising horses on a grand estate in the countryside. Long retired from his previous life in the criminal underworld, Noël's world is turned around in one night when a former associate (Pierre Forget), gravely wounded from a job gone wrong, arrives at the farm accompanied by Mickey (Gérard Depardieu, 1900), a dangerously unpredictable young hood. As events begin to spin out of his control, Noël is forced to re-enter the world of criminality he left behind, and to reckon with his own violent nature. With Montand leading an all-star cast, Choice of Arms is a typically gripping slice of French noir from director Alain Corneau.
