| 27 • 11 AMC Pacific Place | 04 • 12 ,08 • 12 PALACE ifc The daily grind for the cops of the Police Department’s Juvenile Protection Unit – taking in child molesters, busting underage pickpockets and chewing over relationship issues at lunch; interrogating abusive parents, taking statements from children, confronting the excesses of teen sexuality, enjoying solidarity with colleagues and laughing uncontrollably at the most unthinkable moments. Knowing the worst exists and living with it. How do these cops balance their private lives and the reality they confront every working day? By opting to transform this fiction into a mockumentary, Maïwenn delivers an intense, striking film filled with disturbing truths. Through its cast of characters, Maïwenn presents multiple perspectives on what it means to be a cop and finely incorporates a number of sub-plots to the main story, thanks to a solid screenplay and energetic direction. This brutally realistic film is a punch to the face. 2011 Cannes International Film Festival — Grand Jury Prize Trailer : click here |
