Tricheurs (1984)

Tricheurs is a 1984 French film starring Bulle Ogier and Jacques Dutronc about gamblers.

“Exploring themes of addiction, sexual power games, and compulsive behavior, Barbet Shroeder’s Tricheurs is a powerfully impudent look into the world of gambling addicts, Bulle Ogier is cast among a stylish milleu of gamblers on a Portuguese island.”

“Tricheurs” is a long overdue treat….another entertaining, weirdly elegant tale about people moving too fast, living too intensely, along the thin line that separates elation from despair. Its subject is the obsessive gambler who, as one character puts it, suffers an addiction that society ignores with a clean conscience.” Vincent Canby, NY Times
