Here’s my review of Papillon for MovieRob’s March Genre Grandeur of Prison films. Steve McQueen shines in this good, not great, memoir of one man’s escape attempts from a French prison in South America. Check out the other prison film reviews for this month too!

Thanks again to Jay of Life Vs. Film for choosing this month’s genre.

Next month’s Genre has been chosen by Ryan of Ten Stars or Less.  We will be reviewing our favorite Boston Film(s).

According to Ryan’s research, this is probably the best list of movies set in Boston

Papillon (1973)


They said, “You’ll stay;

You’ll work; you’ll pay

Your debt back to society.

And for your crime,

You’ll serve your time

And suffer in sobriety.”
