James M. Duncan Jr. Branch Library

Beth Patridge Meeting Room

Join Oddball cinema for a showing of Vidocq!

The story is loosely based – very loosely – on the exploits of a real 19th-century Parisian detective.  A former criminal, he used his knowledge of the city’s underbelly to solve crimes and capture the perpetrators.  In this adventure, he was on the trail of a murderer who may or may not have had supernatural powers.  What was definitely known is that the two entered a factory for a final confrontation, and Vidocq did not come out.  His biographer tries to assemble the truth from evidence that was left behind.
