Both are directed as usual by Josée Dayan, who co-produces the series. In Le jeune homme et la mort, the first violinist of the Eckert Quatuor is found dead in a pond a few days before a concert. Capitaine Marleau questions the famous musician Alexandre Eckert and his entourage.
The bottom line: Étude in Grey.
Maybe the bar was set too high with the very good Sang et lumière. Past the beautiful locations, Le jeune homme et la mort struggles to meet the quality standards of Capitaine Marleau. The plot seems right out of an episode of Midsomer Murders. The guest cast (except Stanislas Merhar) ranges from uninspired to unconvincing. Marleau looks likes she tries hard to resist a urge to leave gendarmerie for a comedian job. Worst, Le jeune homme et la mort is a missed opportunity to do with classical music what Brouillard en thalasso succeeded with classic dance.
