Stunningly shot neo-noir thriller from acclaimed French filmmaker Claude Berri!

Introducing Radiance Film's Limited Edition Blu-ray for Tchao Pantin (aka So Long, Stooge), a 1983 crime-noir thriller from acclaimed French filmmaker Claude Berri (Jean de Florette, Manon des Sources).

Bensoussan (Richard Anconina) is a small-time drug pusher in the 18th Arrondissement of Paris. Being trailed by suspicious patrol cops he takes refuge in a petrol station and strikes up a conversation with night manager Lambert (Coluche). As Bensoussan continues to drop in on Lambert they develop a friendship. But it isn't long before problems arise for Bensoussan and Lambert feels a responsibility to the the young tearaway.

Slick and stunningly shot by Bruno Nuytten (Possession), this rain-soaked neo-noir was a multiple winner at the French César Academy Awards taking home acting prizes for both leads, the film anchored by their tender performances. A tale of friendship and revenge set within the fatalistic noir framework, Claude Berri's Tchao Pantin was a box office smash in France.
