Synopsis:
Stephane, only just arrived from Cherbourg, joins the anti criminality brigade of Montfermeil in a sensitive district of the Paris suburbs.
Paired up with Chris and Gwada whose methods are sometimes “special” he rapidly discovers the tensions between the various neighborhood groups.
When an arrest starts to get out of hand, a drone is filming every move they make.
Thoughts:
Stunning, powerful, thought provoking, and moving… just a few of the words to describe Ladj Ly modern masterpiece.
Went into this totally clean, other than knowing it wasn’t the tale you’d expect from the title. I suggest you do the same. You won’t be disappointed.
Rating:
9/10
