Detective (1985)

1985 · 95 min · Comedy, Crime, Drama

Emile Chenal and his wife, Françoise, leaned on boxing manager Jim Fox Warner to cough up the considerable sum of money that he owes them, with both the police and the mob circling the situation. In the same hotel, Inspector Neveu looks into a murder that took place years before, and his storyline overlaps with the arc of the Chenals.

Directed by Jean-Luc Godard. Starring Laurent Terzieff, Aurelle Doazan, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claude Brasseur and Johnny Hallyday.

Lyradrift plots Detective as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
