International Panorama: France

Leather jackets, tight jeans, big moustaches, Renault 5 and disco sounds: there is no doubt; we're in the 70's. Filled with nostalgia, Jacques Maillot's film brings us back to an era that was marked by Jean-Paul Belmondo and Alain Delon's cop and gangster movies - even his cinematography was given an aged look.

Loosely based on a true story, the film tells the story of two brothers, a cop (Guillaume Canet – ‘Love Me If You Dare’, ‘Merry Christmas’) and an ex-con (François Cluzet – ‘Tell No One’, ‘Paris’) whose relationship takes a tumble when the latter returns to his old demons.

A refreshing un-Hollywood approach to the police drama genre, which is not an action movie, but a drama exploring the brothers’ relationship and the lives they try to build for themselves as well as their fraternal conflicts. (subtitles)
