(The Big Brother) (France) Directed by Francis Girod (Réne la Canne)
Cast: Gérard Depardieu, Souad Amidou, Hakim Ghanem
Plot: (From James Traver's review) Two French legionnaires, Rossi and Berger, crash-land in Africa. Having shot his colleague and left him for dead, Rossi runs off with some of the cash their plane was carrying. Berger (Depardieu) survives his wound, however, and returns to France with a new identity, Bernard Vigo. Here, he runs into Rossi, now a successful business man involved with illicit drugs dealing. Bernard kills Rossi, but the murder is witnessed by an Arab boy, Ali (Ghanem). Bernard and Ali strike up an uneasy friendship and Bernard agrees to move in with Ali and his sister. However, Ali's motives for helping Bernard are far from altruistic. He intends to use Bernard to avenge the murder of his elder brother…
