Judex

Georges Franju's Judex is an inventive homage to the classic silent films by Louis Feuillade, specifically the serial with the same name. The film cleverly weaves together elements from Feuillade's original narrative, which follows a daring adventurer named Judex as he embarks on a revenge mission against the corrupt banker Favraux. This seemingly straightforward quest gradually unravels into an intricate web of schemes and plot twists that keep viewers captivated throughout the story. Franju's playful reimagining not only pays tribute to Feuillade's influential work but also offers a fresh perspective on themes of justice, corruption, and the complexities of revenge in a modern context.
