Aro Recommended Police

 

USA 1985, 110 minutes
Dir. Maurice Pialat
In French with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Suspense/Crime / Romance, Gangsters

 

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.
