Police

About This Movie

So I've been diving into this 1985 French crime drama, 'Police'. It’s got this gritty, almost oppressive atmosphere that really captures the underbelly of Paris. The pacing’s a bit uneven at times, but that kind of adds to the tension, you know? Mangin, the inspector, is relentless, and the performances are raw, especially from the leads. It explores themes of betrayal and moral ambiguity, which feels pretty relevant. The practical effects are understated but effective, enhancing the realness of the drug trade portrayed. There’s something about the way the story unfolds that just pulls you in, even with its flaws. Definitely an interesting piece of cinema to reflect on.
