Raoul Coutard constructed the three-wheeled “Coutard dolly” to shoot this existentialist examination of thought and action. In Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, a withdrawn cigar store owner named Ducker finds his doppelganger in a Resistance parachutist, who calls upon him to help carry out attacks on the Gestapo.
