There is an element of soap opera in those questions, and “Polisse” feels a bit like a season of television compressed into a little more than two hours. An upper-class father, arrested for raping his daughter, is almost boastful about what he has done. However, Joey Starr (reportedly known to child protection agencies in his own life) as Fred is the film's real stand out. The rapper Joeystarr (who is very well known to the French public!) Peter Bradshaw @PeterBradshaw1. She shows extreme dedication to her work, but it’s obvious the stress of the job has got to her and she has stopped taking care of herself. The closest thing “Polisse” has to a hero — its epitome of what the detectives on “The Wire” would call “natural police” — is Fred (the rapper Didier Morville, known as Joeystarr). Awarded the 'Jury Prize' at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, POLISSE merges documentary-like realism with a fragmented narrative akin to an art-house sensibility. The French actress and filmmaker Maïwenn is tall and strikingly beautiful.

With Karin Viard, JoeyStarr, Marina Foïs, Nicolas Duvauchelle. Their dynamics threaten to upstage the importance of their work. As a director, Maïwenn attempts, and largely achieves, the same kind of honesty. Maïwenn's police procedural drama Polisse: 'thoroughly researched, harrowing stuff'. She calls some colleagues into the interrogation room and tries to keep a straight face as she briefs them: “She gave b*** j*** to get her cell phone back.” The girl doesn't think she was so stupid. The cases these officers deal with — parents who sexually abuse their children or force them to commit crimes; children who do terrible harm to themselves and one another — routinely expose the foulest aspects of human nature.

Sometimes their laughter seems insensitive, as when some of them ridicule a teenage girl who has traded sex for a cellphone. Her face and bearing seem to have been designed to turn heads on the red carpet in Cannes, where her latest film, “Polisse,” won the Jury Prize last year. Mobile site. Aug Available for everyone, funded by readers.

Polisse (released at some film festivals as Poliss, French pronunciation: ) is a 2011 French drama film written, directed by and starring Maïwenn. Admittedly, the film’s content is very hard-hitting, but if you think you can stomach it, “Polisse” is riveting. The fractious partnership of Iris (Marina Foïs) and Nadine (Karin Viard) — and the hard times they each have with the men in their lives — is a major dramatic axis.

When her secret exposed by her boyfriend, Iris gives him his marching orders, effectively choosing her job over her relationship. But it does a good job of setting apart their individual stories, and the dismay and disgust about what they have to see every day. (Joeystarr and Maïwenn were a couple when the film started shooting.). If you are looking for a film that will knock the wind out of you, then I urge you to watch this. 27, Melissa manages to chip away his impenetrable shell: showing us that Fred is actually quite a sweet and sensitive man.

Told the infant must have a name in order to be logged and buried, she replies simply, “Iris.” In her case, and probably for some others, this job is more than they can withstand. What I enjoyed the most is how the story unfolds. The story centres on a group of French police officers working in a child protection unit and shows how their work affects them psychologically. First published on Thu 14 Jun 2012 22.10 BST. The Count's Verdict: Dramatically gripping and darkly comic, POLISSE manages to pull you into the lives of a band of people struggling to cope with the grim realities of child protection whilst never taking the easy route of treating the material in a sensationalist manner. We see the police officers interviewing one adult after the next, almost all of which have been accused of abhorrent crimes against children, without knowing the judicial outcome. Made by fans in Auckland, New Zealand. To know that is to ask yourself many questions about this film. With a strong blast of real-life, this sprawling film explores the Paris child protection unit from every conceivable angle. Mr.

It's not that the cops chortle through one interrogation after another, but more that they seem to display a streak of voyeurism. Like Melissa, Maïwenn spent time with a child-protection police task force, and her sympathy and respect for its members, as well as her grasp of their limitations, informs every scene in this long, unruly, gripping film. It did not leave me for weeks and left me wanting to watch more of Maïwenn’s films. In the beginning we see Nadine being advised by her colleague Iris to divorce her husband, when in fact her own relationship with her boyfriend is no better. Maïwenn, who directed and acts in the movie, which won the Cannes Jury Prize in 2011. No doubt a lot of children get protected, but the professional standards of the police sometimes seem inspired by TV cop shows, on which the plots center around the camaraderie of the cops. And what about Sue Ellen (Ms. Bercot, the screenwriter)? The cops try to find her a shelter and fail, and one cop wants to bring them home with him, which is against the rules.
Maïwenn herself has a supercilious small role, playing a photographer permitted to be a fly on the wall recording the unit's daily life; she has a row with a cop, and then inevitably, an affair with him.

We never get to see any of these photos she's supposed to be taking. Based on real cases, POLISSE follows the actions and experiences of members of the Child Protection Unit in the Parisian police force. Movie Review. But elsewhere there are a lot of awful tonal misjudgments. ÉCU’s Award Spotlight: Excellence in Arab Filmmaking. Awarded the 'Jury Prize' at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, POLISSE merges documentary-like realism with a fragmented narrative akin to an art-house sensibility. Another theme, one that emerges through scenes that are especially painful for being utterly matter of fact, is the pervasiveness of violence, sexual and otherwise, against girls.

An officer is so spooked by cases of incest and molestation that he has difficulty giving his own young daughter a bath. “Polisse” opens with a flurry of activity, intercutting case details, while only gradually orienting us to the characters.
Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. The French actress who styles herself Maïwenn's thoroughly researched police procedural thriller is a convincing cinéma vérité style account of the working of Paris's equivalent of our child protection unit. But it seems to be surrounded by equally interesting stories that percolate in the background, piquing the viewer’s curiosity. Born in 1976, pushed into acting by her actress mother, she met Besson when she was 15 and had a child by him a year later. By Rich Cline. The action also veers now and then into melodramatic overstatement, in particular toward the end.

But Melissa, the character Maïwenn plays in “Polisse,” is notably self-effacing, intent on disappearing into her surroundings.
