Police
Aroview: Brilliantly idiosyncratic crime thriller co-written by French auteurs Maurice Pialat (who also directs) and Catherine Breillat (A MA SOEUR!), depicting a seedy Parisian criminal underbelly through the eyes of a moody, jaded cop (Gérard Depardieu).
Obsessively trying to crack a Tunisian drug ring, his life takes an unexpected course when he falls for the girlfriend of a gang member (Sophie Marceau). A daring dalliance with the crime genre from Pialat, which cleverly subverts conventions without completely abandoning them.

5 stars (Exceptional) Fine, complex film. Very dense. Screenplay by Pialat & Breillat, who has strong views on their different roles. Depardieu & Marceau are subtly complementary. Pialat gets more from his actors than other 20thC French directors. ~Anon
