| User ReviewCamille LChouf est un thriller situé dans les cités de Marseille, qui tente d'exposer la réalité du trafic de drogue qui gangrène ces rues. Karim Dridi cède à la tentation d'un scénario basé sur une vengeance qui est aussi cousue de fil blanc que la fin, pourtant extrêmement décevante. En revanche, en termes de mise en scène, Chouf est particulièrement réussi, avec son regard quasiment documentaire, jugeant tout le monde, que ce soit policiers, dealers ou famille avec la même colère. C'est ici la principale réussite du film, avec l'interprétation des acteurs, surtout Sofian Khammes, dans un rôle particulièrement compliqué. Chouf est un vrai bon thriller et un film à voir en cette fin d'année. |
