| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA leisurely-paced French film about a man struggling to keep his soul alive. |

| User ReviewMaxime Bexcellant movie who give one of the best realistic life of a police unit.A must!!!!!!!!!!! |
| User ReviewEmily BGreat documentary style police drama from Bertrand Tavernier. It's a gritty study of a Paris drug squad where the police are just as corrupt as the criminals. There's not much of a story, just a series of events, which leads to it's only downfall, the fact that it's slightly too long, and with no actual storyline it can feel like it's dragging on at times. |
| User ReviewReginald RAn interesting but uneven independent about predestined love, the most fantastic french cop film, an Almodóvar film, and David Lean's slightly hollow but largely irresistable desert adventure. |
| User ReviewJason MPeut-être un des meilleurs Polar Français |
| User ReviewFrancisco FLe meilleur Tavernier, de tres loin, grace a l'accord subtil entre le sujet et la mise en scene. |
