Over at IMDb user anderzzz-1 said it better than ever I could. "Less said, less action, but more depth". Okay, my English would be more correct, but anderzzz-1's meaning gets to the heart of the matter. This is by no means the usual Hollywood-style police procedural. Quiet and understated, we see character and plot developed. We are encouraged to think and feel. I fear to say much more than this would risk taking away from what I see as the film's power, but it reminds me of a Parisian Homicide: Life in the Streets and in that vein is much more like The Wire than The Shield.

Il était magnifique.

Well worth all the cinematic detritus I've sat through as of late. Waiting for such a film as this.

Wish I could promise you'll be as moved as I am but I can't. All I can do is record, for posterity, that I thought this a fantastic artistic interpretation of real life.
