Simon Carrerra has just been released from prison and is now on parole. His old pal Albert entices him to renew his career in crime with a big- time heist of a celebrated diamond in Antwerp. This involves a mafia- style boss and a complicated robbery in a luxury hotel in Antwerp during the auction of the diamond. The “Florentine” is an historic jewel owned by Marie Neuville and her daughter Julia, two diamond experts. Marie Neuville’s sudden death puts Julia in charge of the sale. Because she’s young and inexperienced, she’ll encounter some flack. But, she’s determined. In Antwerp, Simon, posing as a friend of her mother’s and an expert in security, meets Julia. Slowly but surely, the two become closer… perhaps too close… He manages to get a double to the key, essential for the robbery. Simon has no choice but to betray Julia. The heist is a success. However, Scylla unexpectedly enacts a hidden part of his plan. He gets rid of his accomplices and makes it look like the diamond has disappeared in the ocean during what seems to be vengeance murder. But Simon and Albert escape the massacre in extremis. Discovering that Julia is being accused of complicity and that the death of her mother was linked to Scylla’s gang, Simon decides to take action: He’ll help Julia get the diamond back and avenge her mother’s death…

Trailer

Belgian filmmakers Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani trade in the crushed velvet and creeping shadows of their giallo-worshiping first two films (AMER, THE STRANGE COLOR OF YOUR BODY’S TEARS) for blistering sun, creaking leather and raining bullets in this glorious homage to 1970s Italian crime films. After stealing a truckload of gold bars, a gang of thieves absconds to the ruins of a remote village perched on the cliffs of the Mediterranean. Home to a reclusive yet hypersexual artist and her motley crew of family and admirers, it seems like a perfect hideout. But when two cops roll up on motorcycles to investigate, the hamlet erupts into a hallucinatory battlefield as both sides engage in an all-day, all-night firefight rife with double-crosses and dripping with blood. Based on a classic pulp novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette and featuring vintage music cues by Ennio Morricone, LET THE CORPSES TAN is a deliriously stylish, cinematic fever dream that will slamfire your senses like buckshot to the brain.
