DVD Description
This recent French TV sensation is a dark and labyrinthine Parisian crime drama with shades of
CSI,
The Wire and
24.
When the badly beaten body of a young Romanian woman is discovered on a Parisian rubbish dump, the investigation plunges us deep into the murky worlds of prostitution, drugs, business, politics and justice…
The investigation is led by Pierre Clément, a young recently-named public prosecutor, who teams up with Police Captain Laure Bathaud and investigating magistrate Judge Roban – three indomitable characters with their own methods, beliefs, demons and visions of justice.
As the young woman’s identity and past life are gradually uncovered, it soon becomes apparent that her story is tied to a network of corruption touching the very people charged with uncovering the truth about her.
Starring Gregory Fitoussi, Caroline Proust, Philippe Duclos, Guillaume Cramoisan and featuring Anne Caillon.
The Observer
There's an element of
CSI in the graphic autopsy scene, a bit of
24 in the fancy camerawork and a lot of the wonderful
State of Play in the hints of wrongdoing in high places.
Tense and nasty, restrained and realistic: more Bête than Belle
