Coup de Grâce (1976 film)
Coup de Grâce (German: Der Fangschuss, French: Le Coup de grâce) is a 1976 West German drama war film directed by Volker Schlöndorff. Adapted from the novel Coup de Grâce by the French author Marguerite Yourcenar, the war film explores passion amid underlying political tones. The title comes from the French expression, meaning "finishing blow". An opening title dedicates the film to Jean-Pierre Melville, for whom Schlöndorff had worked as an assistant director.
