What happens

Bellamy — known as Inspector Bellamy in the U.S. — is a French murder mystery film released in 2009. It is the last theatrical film of celebrated French director Claude Chabrol, who died the following year, and the only time he worked with star Gérard Depardieu. Chabrol said in an interview that the film is like a "novel that Simenon never wrote", a kind of "Maigret on vacation". The film was screened in the Berlinale Special section at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2009, where Chabrol received a Berlinale Camera award for his contributions to cinema.
