It wasn't until six years later that I read

Good film, although technologically dated even if the concepts are not, but a better book. The bleakness.

It looks like the film was released on DVD in 2003 as "Death in Full View" ("Le Mort en Direct"), but it doesn't seem to be available now. The only cover art I've found has French text on it and says "Bertrand Tavernier Collection". I might have to see if I can get a French copy...

I am relying on the memory of seeing it in a London cinema when it was issued, but it did affect me.

Good luck in finding a copy.
